Package: apt

Severity: minor

In
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350290&aid=1988553&group_id=290
we see me doing

$ apt-cache policy lame
lame:
  Installed: 3.97-0.3
  Candidate: 3.97-0.3
  Version table:
 *** 3.97-0.3 0
        500 http://ftp.tw.debian.org unstable/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

That's all because the vital
  $ grep ^deb /etc/apt/sources.list
  deb http://linux.cdpa.nsysu.edu.tw/debian sid main contrib non-free
  deb http://ftp.tw.debian.org/debian-multimedia/ unstable main
directory here                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ is stripped.
One cannot tell between multiple repositories on the same machine too
that way.

These bugs were fixed with the following change:

  [ Robert Collins ]
  * Change the package index Info methods to allow apt-cache policy to be
    useful when using several different archives on the same host.
    (Closes: #329814, LP: #22354)

Seems that we missed the opportunity to close or at least
merge them back then, so i am doing that now (closing).

Thanks for reporting!


Best regards

David Kalnischkies
