Hello DNG,

has anybody else experienced problems using the 
apt-file utility recently? 

Whatever I try, I always get:

  # apt-file search <whatever>
  E: The cache is empty. You need to run "apt update" first.

Of course I followed the hint, but to no avail.

I tried this as both normal user and as root, on my 
Franken-Jesscii desktop, a fresh Jessie beta1 VM, and 
an Ascii VM. So, after six attempts I'm now stumped!
I am pretty sure I have successfully used the apt-file 
utility in the past, though that's been a while.

So, if someone has experienced similar problems, or has 
any idea what to try next, I'd really appreciate some 
input.

Thanks in advance, best regards
Urban
