Bug report: Not able to print apt package uri anymore
Dear APT Development Team,
since the latest update of my Debian lenny amd64 I have a problem with
the apt package: I am not able to determine the fetch URL for the package.
Before update (using apt_0.7.20.2_amd64.deb)
--------------------------------------------
# apt-get --print-uris -y --force-yes --reinstall -d install apt
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 reinstalled, 0 to remove and 0 not
upgraded.
Need to get 1639kB of archives.
After this operation, 0B of additional disk space will be used.
'http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/apt/apt_0.7.20.2_amd64.deb'
apt_0.7.20.2_amd64.deb 1639102
SHA256:3cd190d8d37981c3c970fedba040a64614071b98ffe4f1829803282cb2cf3397
So it prints the uri of the package just as expected
After update (using apt_0.7.20.2+lenny1_amd64.deb)
--------------------------------------------------
# apt-get --print-uris -y --force-yes --reinstall -d install apt
Reading package lists... Done

After this operation, 0B of additional disk space will be used.
The uri is missing!
However, I am still able to re-install the package this way:
# apt-get -y --force-yes --reinstall install apt

So the only strange thing about the new package is: It is not printing
the uri for downloading the package file. Other packages (also from the
updates repository) work fine:
# apt-get --print-uris -y --force-yes --reinstall -d install udev

This is my sources.list:
deb http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free
Note:
Even when I have the old apt package installed, apt-get is not printing
the uri as long as security.debian.org is in my list in
/eta/apt/sources.list.
So I assume something is wrong with the package description, but so far
I cannot find any error in the control file.
I am using the --print-uris option in an automatic package download script.
Any help?
Thank you very much!
Best Regards,
Jan Exß
