The runtime tree structure/contents mapping is fed from a cache db which just essentially maps package,type pairs to some data (e.g. (package, contents ) maps to the list of files) or the packages directly. At runtime we read the file list from each file and build the reverse map file->packages.
The cache db is not affected by this or other changes in later versions of apt for that matter. A future release may move the cache db from bdb to lmdb to improve reliability, but such a change would end up being transparent, except for a one-time performance hit when the old database is discarded :D -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2083697 Title: distribution-gpg-keys-copr crashes Launchpad/apt-ftparchive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/2083697/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
