The observed behavior is not a bug at all but a question of
configuration. It is described in the apt-ftparchive man-page.
Look for APT::FTPArchive::AlwaysStat.
If you want to check the modification dates of your archives simply
create a file
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99-ftparchive
with the following
The database is evaluated in apt-ftparchive of package apt-utils.
So this bug is filed against the wrong package.
I found a way to do it without the need of erasing the repo.db totally
(if you have a repo with very big packages or many packages it cant take
too much time)
For instance, lets say you have a repo like this:
[pkgs]
archivedir = /var/repo/local-repository
release_suite = development-tools
