Ah, I now see what you are looking for! This is in fact caused by the fact
that you ara is not configured to take into account
/var/lib/apt/lists/*_Sources files, where the above mentioned fields belong
to.
So cp /etc/ara.config $HOME/.ara/ and make sure you have added Sources files.
Here is how it looks like:
ara {
database {
paths: [("/var/lib/dpkg/", "^available$");
("/var/lib/apt/lists/", "_Packages$");
("/var/lib/apt/lists/", "_Sources$");
("/var/lib/dpkg/", "^status$")]
}
commands {
pager: "/etc/alternatives/pager"
run_interactive_command: "/usr/bin/sudo ${COMMAND}"
install: "/usr/bin/apt-get install ${PACKAGE}=${VERSION}"
remove: "/usr/bin/apt-get remove ${PACKAGE}=${VERSION}"
update: "/usr/bin/apt-get update"
upgrade: "/usr/bin/apt-get upgrade"
dist_upgrade: "/usr/bin/apt-get dist-upgrade"
print: "/usr/bin/a2ps -q"
}
}
You will be better served if you use ara interactively ara -i ;-)
Does that make sense ?
