hi guys,
me again :( together with the problems reported before, there is another
one.
i installed apt-file on my i386 etch box. i did apt-file update, however
using apt-file search doesn't provide any output (i replaced the address
of our institutional debian mirror with xx.xx.xx in the following outputs):
# apt-file -v update

D: kept 'deb http://debian.xx.xx.xx/debian/ etch main contrib non-free'

debian.xx.xx.xx_debian_dists_etch_Contents-i386.gz
it seems that the problem lies in the apt-file/....Contents-i386.gz file
- it's empty (apart from some comments) - how can i regenerate the file
/ fill it with the necessary data?
i used the same installation cd to install another machine few days ago.
also, i use the same mirror there and apt-file works without any problems...
i would be grateful for any hints. with best regards,
