Bug Description

Binary package hint: apt-file

This is a fairly minor bug. It causes some cosmetic noise during the configure phase, and prevents update-notifier from displaying the message that is intended to be displayed after installation.

/usr/share/apt-file/is-cache-empty doesn't work correctly if /bin/sh is bash. It also emits some errors when /var/cache/apt/apt-file doesn't exist at all.

I don't have the authorization to mark this as "Fix Released", but according to the upstream bug, this was fixed in 2.1.1 and indeed, I cannot repro this on Lucid.

Correction -- looks like the lack of authorization notice was an unintended side effect of Launchpad's being read-only when I opened the bug report.
