The real bug is in tagfile.cc, in particular the patch "fixing" Bug#350025 -- using MMap doesn't work if your Fd is a pipe, which it is if you point apt-ftparchive at a suite that doesn't have an uncompressed Packages file, and ask it to generate Contents. Fix is reverting the patch, at least for the case where your input file size is empty. Cheers, aj
