Before yelling at me read the "P.S.:" at the bottom of this message.
Ok, let me repeat this again: apt-file works even with the errors described above. The only repos that AFAIK are giving the aforementioned error are: hardy-updates[1] hardy-security[1] and PPA repositories. as the normal ones ( hardy[1] ) work flawlessly, apt-file gets all the info it needs. Remember, within one release, packages aren't supposed to change (much); they may be patched, but version changes and stuff like that aren't supposed to happen, so a package in hardy-updates/security should have the same files within it as the original package in "hardy". So the _list_ of files for each package in "hardy" is the same of the package with the same name in hardy-updates/security. [1] Replace hardy by your current version. We want a clearer error message or a patched version of apt-file which doesn't confuse anyone. P.S.: decided to do sudo apt-file update once again and this time it... worked????? for all repos except: $ sudo apt-file update Can't get http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/Contents-i386.gz (404) Can't get http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/dists/stable/Contents-i386.gz (404) Can't get http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu/dists/hardy/Contents-i386.gz (404) Can't get http://deb.opera.com/opera/dists/sid/Contents-i386.gz (404) which is to be kinda expected since they're 3rd party repos and/or contain 3rd party packages.
