No, I had not read the manual page, sorry. After running apt-file update as root, it works. So I would change this report into a wishlist: 1) there should be a command to run apt-file find directly on the remote database by downloading it on the fly 1) apt-file find should be more user-friendly: if it does not find a cached database, or if the cache is old, it should suggest using apt-file update or to run directly on the remote database 3) during installation, debconf should ask whether one wants to activate a weekly cron job that runs apt-get update Thanks for your time -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
