I'm running since multiple weeks with a dummy package installed and cannot produce any error. Running update-apt-xapian-index works fine as well. So I'm sorry, but I can't help here, I don't know where your code get's a mixed case package name from, but the expected response to mixed case package names is a "no such package" response. -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/.
