Um, apt-file in zesty is actually too old to trigger this, so I manually added the config file for testing it, and verified it that way:

(or at least more than a decade). What I expect ------------- The warning isn't specific enough. Lines 6 and 17 are not actually duplicates. The warning could be removed or fixed so that it doesn't complain about non-duplicates. Or the warning could be disabled on Ubuntu. See also -------- LP: #1579372 [Test case] Install apt-file and update, make sure that the warnings are gone. [Regression potential] Warnings about duplicate index targets containing "legacy" in their configured name are not shown anymore, thus it's harder to "fix" servers. But apart from that, which was the goal, I don't see any.
