Package: apt-file
Version: 2.1.3
Severity: minor

debian/apt-file.postinst currently reminds the user to run "sudo 
apt-file update" after installation.  I believe that this script should 
be changed to either (1) remove the reference to sudo entirely, since a 
base, non-expert debian installation does not configure sudo for normal 
users, or (2) include a test to see if /usr/bin/sudo exists, and if it 
doesn't exist, suggest an alternative way to update the cache, like "su 
root -c 'apt-file update'".

Thanks a lot!
