rapt-file search not works

[Edle8]

Ubuntu 13.10
apt-file 2.5.2ubuntu1

The search with the apt-file works normal. But when I try the same search with the rapt-file, a python error occurs:

(not that the network connection is ok)

% apt-file search add-apt-reposi
software-properties-common: /usr/bin/add-apt-repository

% rapt-file search add-apt-reposi
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/rapt-file", line 130, in <module>

    return _opener.open(url, data, timeout)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 404, in open

In verbose mode I see this line:

Querying http://dde.debian.net/dde/q/aptfile/byfile/squeeze-amd64/add-apt-reposi?t=pickle...

But this domain does not exist and not resolves to a IP.
Is there a domain change to update in rapt-file configuration?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

@Dudytz
I have this issue as well, thanks for your report it came up in the Google search results.

If you see the source of rapt-file you'll find that the url is hard-coded into the code and is currently only compatible to Debian repositories... might need few work to make it support Ubuntu software sources.

In the meanwhile use apt-file instead, although I admit that the functionality of rapt-file is really attractive to me.

In the mean time, rapt-file has been discontinued as the back end service has stopped working. I suspect this bug ought to be closed.
