The user-cache feature has been removed in apt-file 3[1]. It is possible to emulate it with some additional setup. Please have a look at the section "Special configurations similar to apt-file 2" in apt-file(1). Mind you, the resulting config file will almost certainly need some tweaking. Thanks, ~Niels [1] It is related to migrating to the apt-acquire feature. APT does not have a method of directly supporting user-caches and only fetching some items. It requires keeping track of all possible items being fetched and disabling those you do not need.
