(System: Ubuntu edgy 64bit with kubuntu-desktop installed)

I installed apt-file, but it does not seem to find anything, no matter what I search

sudo apt-file update works fine

apt-file search or apt-file update only seems to return a few files concerning automatix, in most cases no results at all are returned.

For example:
"apt-file list z" returns no results at all

"apt-file -v list z" has the follwoing output:

D: got 'deb http://www.getautomatix.com/apt edgy main': Bad file descriptor
D: kept 'deb http://www.getautomatix.com/apt edgy main'
D: got 'deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-security universe main multiverse restricted'

You may already know that link.

That did it. apt-file seems to be working now.

Thanks a lot!
