For a temporary work around, you can do: # cat /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/source.list.d/*.list > ~/.sources.list
and alias apt-file to use this file instead: # function apt-file { command apt-file -s ~/.sources.list "$@" } It's ugly but works. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
