Package: apt-file
Version: 3.1.4
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
The cache is reported empty and the suggested way to fill the cache does not work anymore:
Sample:
$ apt-file search test
E: The cache is empty. You need to run "apt update" first.
$ apt update
Reading package lists... Done
W: chmod 0700 of directory /var/lib/apt/lists/partial failed - SetupAPTPartialDirectory (1: Operation not permitted)
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/
W: Problem unlinking the file /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin - RemoveCaches (13: Permission denied)
W: Problem unlinking the file /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin - RemoveCaches (13: Permission denied)
$ sudo apt update
Hit:1 [snip] ./ InRelease
Hit:2 [snip] ascii InRelease
Hit:3 [snip] ascii-updates InRelease
Hit:5 [snip] ascii-backports InRelease
Hit:4 [snip] ascii-security InRelease
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
All packages are up to date.
$ apt-file search test
E: The cache is empty. You need to run "apt update" first.
It is intented that 'apt-file update' can only be run as root?

Since that repository apparently has no Contents files, there can't be any
fetching of them here. (I looked at https://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged/dists/ascii/).
Go talk to the devuan folks.
