Source: python-defaults Severity: minor Hi,
I noticed that python-defaults contains a script called pydist/generate_fallback_list.py, which will not work with apt-file 3. AFAICT, it is *not* installed and assume this script is only for maintainer use. In apt-file 3, the --cache option has disappeared (and -c will be repurposed). The migration path is to create a apt config file that will make APT use the chosen path to store the Contents files (etc.). Based on apt-venv works, I suspect (without testing it) that this will be trivially solvable by using: * apt-file -o Dir=/path/to/fake-root-dir ... - will be available in apt-file (>= 3.0~exp3~) The directory will have a different layout, but I suspect that does not matter to you. Possibly caveat: I am not sure if APT will create the necessary directories beneath it for you. Thanks, ~Niels
