Which documentation recommended you to create a so called "simple repository"? It should be avoided these days.

That works. I think you got libconfig-properties-perl from some properly made remote repository ... most likely from http://security.debian.org/dists/lenny/updates/. If it is from file:///home/code/apt, secure APT should complain (as I understand when I made my local repository as local http service. file:// may be different from http:// ... though.) I do not know all the inside works of apt-file. It is not core APT tool. If it has bus as commented, we need to work around it. > What to do to get "apt-file update" behaving properly?
