  • Why installed files of my package doen't show with apt-file

    From Modaresi Soft Hard@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 13 03:40:02 2025
    We created several packages in https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:celenity (OBS)

    I added our Repo to sources.list.d/....

    Why when I run `apt-file show phoenix` nothing happens?

    What should I observe in the packaging?

    You can download deb files and the files we use to create a deb package from our repo: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/celenity/Debian_12/

    Apt-file relies on the Contents file, which your repository must provide (possibly you have to tell your instance of apt-file where to find that,
    I have no practical experience with it).

    See apt-file(1) man page and apt util's ftparchive [1], which seems to
    be te tool to generate this Contents file for you.

    Cheers

    Just to confirm, you ran `apt-get update` before that, correct?

    apt-*file* update (emphasis is mine), surely?

    I thought that too, but according to the man page, apt-get update does
    that job, too (I was always wondering to find my apt-file database
    up to date and suspected some well-meaning cron job, but that seems
    to be the secret :-)

    Okay, fair enough. I'm new to apt-file so haven't fully absorbed all required knowledge yet.

    I thought I had, and as you see, I learnt something new today :)

    *almost* never != never :-D

    almost definitely ;-)

    apt-get update only updates the package lists from the repositories configured in /etc/apt/sources.list.

    apt-file update fetches the latest file index for all packages.

    IOW, you should run apt-get update (packages) before apt-file update
    (the files inside those packages).

    Sigh. Kids, read the doco. From man apt-file (1)

    update
    This action that just calls apt update or apt-get update (depending
    on whether a tty is available).

    The only advantage using this over a regular apt update or apt-get
    update directly is for the case where you have configured an apt-
    file specific configuration (via the Dir::Etc::apt-file-main
    configuration option). In that case, said configuration will be
    included automatically.

    You don't need apt-file update anymore. Apt update or apt-get update do
    the trick. (Apt-file update won't hurt, though).

    Cheers
