apt-file fails???
After installing apt-file, it doesn't work; erroring out, in fact. Is there some missing dependency, perhaps? Here's the install, the failure, and a check: player ddb# apt-get install apt-file libapt-pkg-perl Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...

That bug refers to an entry in /etc/apt/backup. There is no such file or directory on my system. The symptom, however, appears to be exactly what I'm experiencing, and I have in fact run the apt-cdrom command, so it's likely that this is exactly the problem I'm experiencing. It's just, the workaround documented isn't applicable here. Making the obvious guess, and commenting out the cdrom line in /etc/apt/sources-list appears to have worked. Thanks! So now, how do I report the bug against the bug report? -- David Dyer-Bennet, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/ RKBA: http://noguns-nomoney.com/ http://www.dd-b.net/carry/ Pics: http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/ http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/ Dragaera/Steven Brust: http://dragaera.info/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

So now, how do I report the bug against the bug report? Install the reportbug package if it isn't already installed, then run: reportbug apt-file You can select this bug from the list of existing bugs and follow-up to it with your information.
