The problem from the original report disappeared (I have no clue how),
but a similar problem appeared on another box, with another package :
dpkg -L correctly list the installed files, while in python I get an
empty list. In fact, running:
from apt import *
cache=Cache()
problems=[]
for pkg in cache:
if pkg.installed != None:
if pkg.installed_files == []:
problems.append(pkg.name)
print('%s: %d' % (str(problems), len(problems)))
shows hundreds of cases where a package is installed and the list of
installed files is empty!
I don't know where to start to debug that problem...
