Hello DNG,

has anybody else experienced problems using the
apt-file utility recently?

Whatever I try, I always get:

# apt-file search <whatever>
E: The cache is empty. You need to run "apt update" first.

Of course I followed the hint, but to no avail.

I tried this as both normal user and as root, on my
Franken-Jesscii desktop, a fresh Jessie beta1 VM, and
an Ascii VM. So, after six attempts I'm now stumped!
I am pretty sure I have successfully used the apt-file
utility in the past, though that's been a while.

So, if someone has experienced similar problems, or has
any idea what to try next, I'd really appreciate some
input.

Thanks in advance, best regards
Urban
