apt-file (3.0) unstable; urgency=low
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES
- The format of /etc/apt/apt-file.conf changed.
(the file is optional and can be removed if not needed)
- diffindex-* have been removed.
- show/list command defaults to -F.
- personal "caches" no longer supported.
- non-matching search causes non-zero exit code.
- command line options removed and parsing changed.
Beyond this, apt-file now uses apt's acquire system to
download Contents files.
- Please consult /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50apt-file.conf to
assert you are fetching the desired Contents files.
(Notably Contents for sources and debian-installer are
disabled by default and have to be renabled if you want
them.)
- Run "apt update" to re-fetch the Contents files.
- The previous system-wide cache will been removed on
upgrade.
- Personal caches under XDG_CACHE_HOME/apt-file or
~/.cache/apt-file must be removed manually.
- If you strongly prefer the previous behaviour of
"apt update" and "apt-file update", then it is possible
by reconfiguring apt and apt-file. This is explained
in /usr/share/doc/apt-file/README.md.gz
Please consult the following documentation for more
information:
- /usr/share/doc/apt-file/README.md.gz
- man apt-file
- /usr/share/doc/apt-file/examples
