is the bug already filed? it doesn't seem to be for me... but maybe i missed something on the bugs.debian.org.It's likely nothing you did. See this message from eariler Sunday: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/07/msg00074.htmlI just verified today (Tuesday) that the Contents-i386 files that apt-file uses are still being generated empty. That's a bug. I believe that apt-file cannot work until it can access a proper Contents-* file, which means you'll have to wait until that's fixed.
apt-file on unstable seems to work fine... regards, -- Lubos _@_"
