Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I'm also looking for a
solution to this problem and found only your original question when
searching for the answer on Google.
Perhaps if someone could answer it on-list, in this thread, it would
become a great reference.
Thanks in advance. Doubly sorry if the answer is RTFM and I just missed it.
I'm not sure what you're asking here. Looking in the archive, it
looks like a question about why we don't have Contents files?
We do have Contents since the move, so I have no idea what the
problem is. Just run: apt-file update, and then apt-file search
or list.
Not long after I wrote this message, I spent a little more time
looking around the various mirrors and the problem was simply the
mirror that I was using had no Contents_amd64.gz file. I'm now using:
deb http://ftp.belnet.be/pub/mirror/debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/
sid main contrib non-free
and that solved my problem.
Thanks for the response. If anyone else has the problem, just search
around the mirrors and check a couple until you find one with the
Contents file.
