Public bug reported: Since eoan `apt-file search /bin/bash` no longer produces any result and `apt-file update` only fetches a very limited set.
This seems to be an issue with empty/corrupted Contents-amd64.gz in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/eoan/ vs. ie. http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/ I'm a heavy user of `apt-file`. Most of the file I use it to find out about packages I need to install a specific, missing file or vice-versa find out about which package is responsible / owns a specific file. It seems that since my last update to eoan `apt-file` has completely lost its functionality. Also most of the time i do no longer get any result at all… $ apt-file search /bin/bash $ apt-file show bash Here in contrast the result on a Linux Mint 19.2 equivalent Ubuntu 18.04 installation: $ apt-file search /bin/bash bash: /bin/bash bash: /usr/bin/bashbug bash-static: /bin/bash-static bashburn: /usr/bin/bashburn pbh5tools: /usr/bin/bash5tools pbh5tools: /usr/bin/bash5tools.py ** Affects: apt-file (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: eoan packaging -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1850616 Title: apt-file no longer finds most of the content since Ubuntu 19.10 eoan due to empty upstream Contents-amd64.gz To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-file/+bug/1850616/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
