Package: apt-file Version: 2.0.7 Severity: normal apt-file should give an error message and not fail silently if no direct http-connection is available, e.g. if a proxy is required.
Also it should read the proxy settings from apt.conf as already requested in bug 350716. # apt-file --verbose update D: got 'deb http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian/ etch main non-free contrib' D: kept 'deb http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian/ etch main non-free contrib' D: got 'deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free' D: kept 'deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free' D: curl -I "http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian/dists/etch/Contents-i386.gz"; 2>&1 | grep '^HTTP.*404' > /dev/null || (curl -z "/var/cache/apt/apt-file/mirror.switch.ch_ftp_mirror_debian_dists_etch_Contents-i386.gz" -R -o "/var/cache/apt/apt-file/mirror.switch.ch_ftp_mirror_debian_dists_etch_Contents-i386.gz" "http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian/dists/etch/Contents-i386.gz"; >/dev/null 2>&1 && chmod 644 "/var/cache/apt/apt-file/mirror.switch.ch_ftp_mirror_debian_dists_etch_Contents-i386.gz") D: curl -I "http://security.debian.org/dists/etch/updates/Contents-i386.gz"; 2>&1 | grep '^HTTP.*404' > /dev/null || (curl -z "/var/cache/apt/apt-file/security.debian.org_dists_etch_updates_Contents-i386.gz" -R -o "/var/cache/apt/apt-file/security.debian.org_dists_etch_updates_Contents-i386.gz" "http://security.debian.org/dists/etch/updates/Contents-i386.gz"; >/dev/null 2>&1 && chmod 644 "/var/cache/apt/apt-file/security.debian.org_dists_etch_updates_Contents-i386.gz") # apt-file --verbose list bash D: got 'deb http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian/ etch main non-free contrib' D: kept 'deb http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian/ etch main non-free contrib' D: got 'deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free' D: kept 'deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free' D: regexp: ^(\S+)\s+(\S*/bash.*)$ # apt-file --verbose search bash D: got 'deb http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian/ etch main non-free contrib' D: kept 'deb http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian/ etch main non-free contrib' D: got 'deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free' D: kept 'deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free' D: regexp: ^(.*?bash[^\s]*)\s+(\S+)\s*$ -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-486 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_CH (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages apt-file depends on: ii curl 7.15.1-1 Get a file from an HTTP, HTTPS, FT ii gzip 1.3.5-12 The GNU compression utility ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.18+b1 Perl interface to libapt-pkg ii libconfigfile-perl 1.2.1 Parses simple configuration files ii perl 5.8.8-2 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii wget 1.10.2-1 retrieves files from the web apt-file recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
