Package: apt-file Version: 3.1.5 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Dear maintainers, installing apt-file and running apt-file update works well, but any search fails with an error ; for instance apt-file search ogg123 fails with E: LZ4F: /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.debian.org_debian_dists_testing_main_Contents-amd64.lz4 Read error (18446744073709551615: ERROR_GENERIC) Command xargs -0r /usr/lib/apt/apt-helper cat-file exited with code 123 at /usr/bin/apt-file line 240. E: A subprocess exited uncleanly (raw: 31488) and similarly for other searches. Downgrading apt-file to stable (3.1.4) from testing/unstable (3.1.5) does not solve the problem. Cleaning the database with aptitude clean or even with apt-get --list-cleanup update does not change the problem. Purging apt-file, reinstalling and re-updating the apt-file database doesn't solve the issue either. It seems the package is thus unusable. It seems the issue is related to a lz4 library, but i could not find a way to go further.
