Package: apt-file
Version: 3.1.5
Severity: wishlist
In #676642 we added a workaround for the Contents file having a header
breaking some lookups. The Debian (#841997) and Ubuntu (LP#1638219)
archives have now removed this header but unfortunately I noticed that
reprepro (#881405) still has a header. Unfortunately the reprepro header is not
compatible with the current workaround in apt-file. We could fix that by
replacing the first match with line 1. Alternatively we could just drop the
workaround, removing it should speed up apt-file by not invoking sed. I guess
most apt-file users aren't using reprepro
generated repositories that also have Contents files available. Also,
the header from reprepro doesn't cause quite as bad issues as the dak
and launchpad header, it just means that there is a package called FILE
with a single file in it called LOCATION.
