Hi, I'm trying to understand how to use apt-file. I've just installed it on unstable (2.0.3-6) and am using what I believe is the default /etc/apt/apt-file.conf (follows below).
when I try: apt-file list mozilla-firefox or apt-file search firefox I get nothing. Am I doing something wrong? Or is the config perhaps not set up right? I ifnd the man page soemwhat telegraphic, so perhaps I'm missing something! thanks, matt # Apt-file configuration file # Substitutions are made as follow: # host => remote hostname # port => port # uri => complete URI from sources.list # path => path from / # dist => the distrib name # comp => the component name # cache => path to the cache dir # dest => the destination file name # cdrom => cdrom mount point # Where are located Packages (relative to <comp> directory) destination = <host>_<path>_dists_<dist>_Contents-<arch>.gz # Fetch methods http = wget -N -P "<cache>" -O "<cache>/<dest>" "<uri>/dists/<dist>/Contents-<arch>.gz" || rm -f "<cache>/<dest>"; ftp = wget -N -P "<cache>" -O "<cache>/<dest>" "<uri>/dists/<dist>/Contents-<arch>.gz" || rm -f "<cache>/<dest>" ssh = scp -l <user> -P <port|22> "<host>:/<path>/dists/<dist>/Contents-<arch>.gz" "<cache>/<dest>" rsh = rcp -l <user> "<host>:/<path>/dists/<dist>/Contents-<arch>.gz" "<cache>/<dest>" file = cp "/<path>/dists/<dist>/Contents-<arch>.gz" "<cache>/<dest>" copy = cp "/<path>/dists/<dist>/Contents-<arch>.gz" "<cache>/<dest>" cdrom = echo "Put CDROM labeled <path> in the cdrom device" > /dev/stderr ; read ; mount "<cdrom>"; cp "<cdrom>/dists/<dist>/Contents-<arch>.gz" "<cache>/<dest>"; umount "<cdrom>" ----------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
