[Bug 1550726] Re: [apt-utils] apt-ftparchive reports wrong file size and checksums in Packages

Sat Mar 5 15:56:22 UTC 2016

With apt-utils 1.2.4, the behavior has changed: 5 packages are not even
listed in Packages anymore, including nemo_2.8.6-11_amd64.deb package:

Here, 24 packages are located in the folder:

Only 19 packages are described in Packages (cf. attached file).
I have also uploaded the config file I use for apt-ftparchive.

I can't find what the 5 missing packages have in common to explain this
issue.

  Generating Packages with (apt-ftparchive.conf is attached below.):
  apt-ftparchive generate --contents=off ./apt-ftparchive.conf

  However, on disk, we have very different file size & checksums:
  ll nemo*

  68d5c945d9ccd9d3d2807ba46e33cc42  nemo_2.8.6-11_amd64.deb

  If we generate Packages differently with:
  apt-ftparchive packages . > Packages
  Generated Packages contains this time correct file size & checksums:

  What is very strange is that all other packages in the same folder are
  correctly described by Packages when using the first method for
  generating Packages.

  I have the same issue with another package in another folder.

  I have also uploaded the deb.
  Any suggestion?

  N.B: I can upload the second package if necessary.
