Package: apt
Version: 0.9.6
Severity: minor
When trying to download a package that is not available on a remote
location (i.e. locally installed), apt-get fails with an unhelpful
message. E.g.:
# apt-cache policy vrms
vrms:
Installed: 1.16+nmu0+jwilk20110827
Candidate: 1.16+nmu0+jwilk20110827
Version table:
*** 1.16+nmu0+jwilk20110827 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
1.16 0
990 http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable/main i386 Packages
# apt-get download vrms
E: FindIndex failed
I wish that:
1) the error message actually explained what the problem is;
2) more importantly, it pointed out which package is at fault (I often
hit this bug when downloading dozens or even hundreds packages at
once...).

.
[ Julian Andres Klode ]
* apt-pkg/contrib/mmap.cc:
- Fix the Fallback option to work correctly, by not calling
realloc() on a map mapped by mmap(), and by using malloc
and friends instead of new[].
- Zero out the new memory allocated with realloc().
.
[ Daniel Hartwig ]
* apt-pkg/pkgcachegen.cc:
- always reset _error->StackCount in MakeStatusCache (Closes: #677175)

are handled in the same way as dpkg handles them

* apt-pkg/cacheset.cc:
