Package: apt-utils Version: 0.5.9 I found after a bit of trial and error with my private apt repository, that although the output of "apt-ftparchive contents" looks like this:
path/to/file/1 package1 path/to/file/2 package2 the syntax expected by "apt-file list <package>" is instead this: path/to/file/1 section1/package1 path/to/file/2 section2/package2 and in fact "apt-file list" ignores any line in a Contents-* file with no "/" in the package field on the right. (Oddly, "apt-file search" doesn't have this problem.) Since the Contents-* files at ftp.debian.org use the second syntax above, I assume this bug is with apt-ftparchive rather than apt-file. Please reassign it to apt-file if you disagree with me. regards, -- Kevin McCarty Physics Department [EMAIL PROTECTED] Princeton University www.princeton.edu/~kmccarty Princeton, NJ 08544
