Yes they have broken it. They didn't convert byte to string properly. I have made a patch...or rather hack really.
After applying the patch try search with colon: axi-cache search 'brasero' But it won't show package details for that, it needs to be fixed properly. You could try contacting them. ** Patch added: "A hack to workaround error" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-xapian-index/+bug/1612948/+attachment/4938394/+files/axi-cache.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1612948 Title: axi-cache conversion to python3 broke the script To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-xapian-index/+bug/1612948/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
