Public bug reported:
This thing had just broken my apt lists (and muon not starting). I found three
extra lines with
"Swipe your finger across the fingerprint reader"
in the generated /var/lib/apt/lists/some_repo_Packages
Here is the command I executed:-
sudo dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null | gzip -9c > "Packages.gz"
although i can fix this specific issue with
sudo dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null | grep -vE "^Swipe your finger" | gzip -9c >
"Packages.gz"
but I am not sure what it will break in future.
I will try to see if I can suggest some code fixes but have been away
from C for a few years.
Thanks
