OBS project repos do not work w/ apt-file

Confirmed that the cause of Details at nthykier/apt-file#2 thanks! |
This doesn't work because |
Is there a particular reason OBS uses dpkg-scanpackages? Could it switch to apt-ftparchive instead? From the apt-ftparchive manpage: apt-ftparchive is a superset of the dpkg-scanpackages(1) program, incorporating its entire functionality via the packages command. It also contains a contents file generator, contents, and an elaborate means to 'script' the generation process for a complete archive. |
Mostly because nobody knows about it and apt is not packaged in openSUSE. 😅 |
Ah, no 'apt' in opensuse, that's a real shame. I see a very old 'apt' package lingering at https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/system:packagemanager but factory doesn't appear to have it anymore. 😢 |
