Yes, I suspect that too. I'm using apt sources at http://www.deb-multimedia.org. I believe both bugs I filed on apt-file have the same source. See bellow. > Could you please provide the full output of: > > > $ apt-file -v --filter-suites sid list apt-file > > $ apt-get indextargets --format '$(IDENTIFIER) $(ARCHITECTURE) $(ORIGIN) > > $(CODENAME),$(SUITE) $(FILENAME)' Using the later hint, I found out the possible cause of the problem. The files /var/lib/apt/lists/*_InRelease the header: Origin: Debian ^^^^^^ to just _one_ word. deb-multimedia uses 3 words: Origin: Unofficial Multimedia Packages ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ and the parser does not make the distinction. One may argue deb-multimedia is at fault here, and I would agree. Still if the indextargets format specifier would use another field separator (say '|' instead of ' ') parsing would work much better. Say: '$(IDENTIFIER)|$(ARCHITECTURE)|$(ORIGIN)|$(CODENAME),$(SUITE)|$(FILENAME)' What do you think? Cheers, -- Cristian
