Package: apt-file
Version: 2.1.0
Severity: normal
I'm running AMD64 Ubuntu Hardy, but I'm reporting this to the Debian
BTS because the package version doesn't have ubuntu in it, so I assume
the bug was/is also present in apt-file 2.1.0 in Debian. (It's not
present in apt-file 2.0.8.2 in etch).
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure apt-file
/usr/share/apt-file/is-cache-empty: line 13: return: can only return from a
function or sourced script
is-cache-empty should probably use exit 0 or exit 1 not return,
unless it is sourced somewhere and exec()ed somewhere else. In that
case, it's probably best to call it the same way everywhere.
(I was using dpkg-reconfigure to see if there was an option to
configure periodic updates with a cron job...)

Version: 2.1.1
Hi,
thanks for your bug report. But this was already fixed in 2.1.1. As
far as I remember, it's only a warning, i.e. it doesn't break
anything. Otherwise, dpkg would have printed an error message, too.
There is probably no reason to try backport the fix to hardy.
Cheers,
Stefan
