I see no indication in the current apt(8) man page of a way to tell apt to do this. I don't use 'apt update', but rather 'apt-get update', paired with a separate 'apt-file update'. While unifying the two commands would be useful for those who use apt, it would also seem to leave those who don't with at most three options: switch to apt, stop updating the apt-file index, or deal with redundant updates to the package index (which might quality as "switch to apt" in practice). -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
