And this is a search against stable "wheezy", which it says in the results ... > Could it be related to the fact that it is an arch all package? Or the fact you're searching against unstable? When I drop "&suite=unstable" from the first URL you linked above, I do get results. If I leave "&suite=unstable" but substitute anything else for "keywords=ecrm1000.tfm" (e.g. "keywords=bash") I still get no results. So it looks like the search for files is currently broken for unstable/sid, although why remains a mystery to me. Did you intend to search sid? If so, apt-file seems to work fine for that as an alternative until this is fixed. Thanks for your report. Ben -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
