It keeps silence when asked for the example: $ apt-file update Atingido:1 http://linux.teamviewer.com/deb stable InRelease Ign:2 http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable InRelease Obter:3 http://cran-r.c3sl.ufpr.br/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic-cran35/ InRelease [3.609 B] =====8<-------- lots of messages ---------------- Atingido:38 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ys/emojione-picker/ubuntu xenial InRelease Baixados 3.609 B em 9s (400 B/s) Lendo listas de pacotes... Pronto Construindo árvore de dependências Lendo informação de estado... Pronto All packages are up to date. (although the messages are in portuguese, it wnt without errors) $ sudo apt-file search examples/fortran/x00f.f90 $ So, no Fortran examples for Ubuntu. :( Best regards.
