As hinted in my initial mail I think having libapt-pkg-perl provide whatever interfaces allowing for this would be the ideal solution. In which case I think it would make sense to file a bug report on libapt-pkg-perl requesting whatever interface is needed, possibly another one on libapt-pkg if it does not provide the underlaying interfaces and chain-blocking each of those up to this bug report, and possibly retitling and unwontfixing this one. I think you might be in a better position to file the other bug reports (if they have not been filed before), as you know what you might want to see provided, otherwise I could try to file them distilling what you've mentioned here, although I'm not sure that might be ideal. :) > > ,--- > > $ apt-file list foo > > Use of uninitialized value $scheme in string at /usr/bin/apt-file line 185, > > <SOURCE> line 4. > > Use of uninitialized value $scheme in concatenation (.) or string at > > /usr/bin/apt-file line 186, <SOURCE> line 4. > > W: Don't know how to handle > > E: No valid sources in /etc/apt/sources.list > > `--- > > > > This seems wrong though and I will have a look at fixing those.
