Hi, I was seeking for source code copies of a certain library that for instance contains a file named bgzf.c and so I did
$ sudo apt-file -a source update $ apt-file -a source search bgzf.c genometools: /src/external/samtools-0.1.18/bgzf.c Because I was pretty sure that this file also exists in the source of samtools and tabix I tried to grep the Contents-source files directly and got: $ zgrep bgzf.c /var/cache/apt/apt-file/*unstable*Contents-source.gz /var/cache/apt/apt-file/http.debian.net_debian_dists_unstable_main_Contents-source.gz:bgzf.c samtools,tabix /var/cache/apt/apt-file/http.debian.net_debian_dists_unstable_main_Contents-source.gz:src/external/samtools-0.1.18/bgzf.c genometools Any idea why apt-file -a source search missed samtools and tabix? It seems the reason is the coma separated list of these two packages. I have no idea whether this is a valid syntax for Contents-source.gz files but if yes apt-file should be able to cope with this. On the other hand I somehow suspect some problem with the Contents-source.gz file because I rather think that the second line pointing to package genometools looks somehow "correct". Or did I just missed something? Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
