Package: apt-file
Version: 2.0.8.2
Severity: important
When invoking apt-file, I see this:
# apt-file search md5sum
E: Can't open /debian//etc/apt//debian/apt/sources.list: No such file or
directory
#
My /etc/apt/sources.list is not used at all on my system and infact, it does
not attempt to read it (that's good actually). However, it doesn't get the
path correct as seen above.
strace -eopen shows the following (libraries were removed):
open("/etc/apt/apt-file.conf", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 5
open("/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) = 5
open("/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00mirror", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 5
open("/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00noauth", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 5
open("/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 5
open("/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 5
open("/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/show_upgraded", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 5
open("/debian//etc/apt//debian/apt/sources.list", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
E: Can't open /debian//etc/apt//debian/apt/sources.list: No such file or
directory
The contents of the 00noauth, 01autoremove, 70debconf, and show_upgraded are
not relevent, however, 00mirror is:
Dir "/debian/"
{
State "apt/"
{
Lists "lists/";
};
Cache "apt/cache/"
{
Archives "/var/cache/apt/archives/";
srcpkgcache "srcpkgcache.bin";
pkgcache "pkgcache.bin";
};
Etc "/etc/apt/"
{
SourceList "/debian/apt/sources.list";
};
};
This has never failed me for apt-get and apt-cache, but apt-file barfs at it.
All my systems NFS mount /debian (except for the server of course, and I
never have to use apt-get update !!!)
