Subject: Possible inconsistency between apt-file and apt-get regarding non-free Package: apt-file Version: 2.1.5 Severity: minor
*** Please type your report below this line *** HI ! Not sur if this really is a bug - or I simply don't understand apt-file/apt-get. apt-file search pthread_mutexattr_setprotocol returns manpages-posix-dev but apt-get install then reports that no such file exists. the man page to apt-file does state that it uses /etc/apt/sources.list by default - if I do not include non-free in the sources.list apt-file still seems to find this package - is that the intended behavior ? rtl26:~/threads/threads# apt-get update rtl26:~/threads/threads# apt-file search pthread_mutexattr_setprotocol gnulib:/usr/share/gnulib/doc/posix-functions/pthread_mutexattr_setprotocol.texi manpages-posix-dev: /usr/share/man/man3/pthread_mutexattr_setprotocol.3posix.gz rtl26:~/threads/threads# apt-get install manpages-posix-dev Reading package lists...
