Public bug reported:
On precise.
AptContents.pm
return map
{ $host . "_" . join( "_", $dir || (), "dists", $dist, $_ ) }
@components;
returns gb.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_main
When processing a line from the sources.list e.g.
deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main
but apt-file actually creates a Contents file without main
gb.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_Contents-amd64.gz
This causes the apt-file dependency management to fail.
So either apt-file or AptContents are wrong, they don't share a single
library for parsing the sources.list file. apt-file uses:-
sub parse_sources_list($) {
##########################
A config only workaround to anyone who has this problem is to create a
~/.apt-file.conf
with
destination = <host>_<path>_dists_<dist>_main_Contents-<arch>.gz
or just to rename the files to include the components.
