Hi, I agree (in principle) that it would be nice if apt-file would work immediately on install. Though with apt-file now using apt's acquire system, we would end up calling apt while apt is running. This is not possible atm. and I will therefore tag this wontfix for now. Please note that even if it was possible to (reliably) run apt within a postinst, I am not necessarily convinced this we should fetch Contents files during installation. However, there is not much point in looking at that while the above is blocking it. Thanks, ~Niels
