Hi everyone, the following packages contain lines matching the expression: /var/lib/apt/lists/.*(Packages|Sources) Those files may be compressed by any compressor supported by APT and just hardcoding them is wrong. Especially with lz4 support in 1.2, there is almost no overhead setting Acquire::gzipIndexes (bad name, I know), so I suspect we might see more people moving to compressed indices, especially on embedded devices. So, I think it's time to clean up that mess. Here is how: To get the name of all Packages files (since 1.1), use: apt-get indextargets --format '$(FILENAME)' "Created-By: Packages" for Sources: apt-get indextargets --format '$(FILENAME)' "Created-By: Sources" for Contents (if apt-file 3 is installed): apt-get indextargets --format '$(FILENAME)' "Created-By: Contents-deb" (or -dsc, -udeb) To read the file, you can use (since APT 1.1.8) /usr/lib/apt/apt-helper cat-file FILENAME... - this will automatically handle any compressor. C++ code may wish to use APT's FileFd code instead. -- List of affected packages.
