I can sometimes miss details, hence it's better if people just say what they are running. > search files with apt-file like > > $ apt-file search mocp > $ apt-file search parted > $ apt-file search vlc > $ apt-file search firefox > $ apt-file search ...... > > Response here is empty. All those packages except for firefox - which is "out-of-date" - have been built for powerpc, so there is nothing wrong on the powerpc side. I suggest you talk to the apt-file maintainer and ask what the problem with his tool is because as maintainers of Debian Ports, we don't have an insight how particular tools work. I assume it's related to the fact that the database for powerpc seems corrupted on packages.debian.org, see for example: > https://packages.debian.org/unstable/vlc But this is something that needs to be fixed by the site maintainers, the apt-file author probably knows whom to talk to.
