If you mean Contents-i386.gz and so on, no, it's not really practical to maintain such a package. auto-apt has functions to do it though: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ sudo auto-apt update put: 819117 files, 992054 entries put: 844970 files, 1027264 entries Downloading http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable Contents-i386.gz ...done put: 1704106 files, 2061634 entries Downloading http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian-non-US/dists/unstable/non-US Contents-i386.gz ...done put: 1732516 files, 2092415 entries put: 1751647 files, 2120702 entries done (153 sec) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ auto-apt search usr/lib/man-db usr/lib/man-db/ doc/man-db (You need to remember to leave out the initial / on filenames, otherwise they don't match anything in Contents.) -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
