Package: apt-show-versions
Version: 0.17
Severity: important
Hi.
On my system, apt-show-versions started complaining with the message:
Error: No information about packages! (Maybe no deb entries?)
Of course, I do have deb entries in my system. Reading the source code, I
saw that there was this snippet of code:
,----
| @files = map { $list_dir . $_} grep /Packages$/, readdir(DIR);
`----
right there in the initialization of the cache. Since my system only has
gzipped files as shown by "ls /var/lib/apt/lists/*Packages*",
apt-show-versions goes on to say that it found no informations about the
packages, but the files are there, only gzipped (that is, ending with
Packages.gz extension, instead of only Packages).
If you need any further information, please let me know.
Regards,
Rogério Brito.
