Hi Christian

Best regards,

Could you please provide a dump of your apt config (specifically the "Acquire::IndexTargets" prefixed once). A copy of your `/etc/apt/apt- file.conf` (if it exists) plus the output of `apt-config dump` should do.

Addendum to this:

First, your config needs at least one case

  Acquire::IndexTargets::*::Contents-*::DefaultEnabled



  Acquire::IndexTargets::deb::Contents-deb::DefaultEnabled

being "true" depending on what you want to search in. For regular debs, the key is: Additionally, your sources list must also allow fetching the relevant artifacts from the mirror providing the Contents file. In your case, ensure that the configuration `http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian` is not limited to only fetching Packages. I do not remember the exact syntax for in the sources.list; I think it is `[target=Packages]` or so (in the deb822 it has its own field).

Best regards,
Niels
