Package: apt-file
Version: 2.5.0
Severity: whishlist
In 2.5.0 we changed to the new style structure in debian to fetch the
Contents files.
But there is some issue with this, as there is no fallback implemented.
This works fine if you only have Debian repo's in your sources.list.
But if there are other repo's in it, which don't have the Contents files
under each section, this will fail.
This is for example the way in Ubuntu.
Therefore I ask if its possible to implement for example a kind of
fallback for this.
So if it can't find the Contents files under the sections, that it tries
the general Contents file.
This way we still have the optimizations that is possible on Debian, but
it also works for other repo's which don't have this.
Thanks
Jean-Louis
