What I did was to use apt-ftparchive on my PC (0.6.21) to create the db: mizar:[~/temp] apt-ftparchive --db ftparchive-mizar.db packages /space/cache/apt/archives >/dev/null ftparchive-mizar.db: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 5, native byte-order) mizar:[~/temp/temp] file ftparchive-mizar.db ftparchive-mizar.db: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 5, native byte-order) then use a tree with your patch: mizar:[.../apt/build/bin] LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./apt-ftparchive --db ~/temp/ftparchive-mizar.db packages /space/cache/apt/archives > /dev/null E: Unable to open DB file /home/mdz/temp/temp/ftparchive-mizar.db: Invalid argument W: DB is old, attempting to upgrade E: Unable to open DB file /home/mdz/temp/temp/cache.db-hurd: Invalid argument Apparently, it tried to upgrade it, and then failed when opening the resulting db. I'm uploading ftparchive-mizar.db to people.d.o/~mdz/temp/ now. -- - mdz
