Hi.
You have 5 bugs merged (plus the ones you have closed) about the problem of a
user getting apt-file and not working by default.
You have a dependency in none of the needed packages (wget|curl) which
without one of them apt-file will NOT work out of the box.
In a previous conversation with me you pointed out that there are others
downloaders that a user can decide to select, but failing to depend on at
least one of the ones provided as a package by Debian renders the package
unusable. Which is not acceptable.
Please, from a list of possible download utilities, define a preference list
and add one last "other" downloader that the user can define at will, and
search from the system according to that list of predefined downloaders with a
set of pre-defined config options. And depend on them in a "wget | curl | ..."
fashion.
I will try to work on a patch to add that functionality, but my time is
reduced and my perl might not be good wnough to do it.
Cheers,

What is "real"? How do you define "real"?
