We created several packages in https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:celenity (OBS)

I added our Repo to sources.list.d/....

Why when I run `apt-file show phoenix` nothing happens?

What should I observe in the packaging?

You can download deb files and the files we use to create a deb package from our repo: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/celenity/Debian_12/

Apt-file relies on the Contents file, which your repository must provide (possibly you have to tell your instance of apt-file where to find that,
I have no practical experience with it).

See apt-file(1) man page and apt util's ftparchive [1], which seems to
be te tool to generate this Contents file for you.

Cheers

Just to confirm, you ran `apt-get update` before that, correct?

apt-*file* update (emphasis is mine), surely?

I thought that too, but according to the man page, apt-get update does
that job, too (I was always wondering to find my apt-file database
up to date and suspected some well-meaning cron job, but that seems
to be the secret :-)

Okay, fair enough. I'm new to apt-file so haven't fully absorbed all required knowledge yet.

I thought I had, and as you see, I learnt something new today :)

*almost* never != never :-D

almost definitely ;-)

apt-get update only updates the package lists from the repositories configured in /etc/apt/sources.list.

apt-file update fetches the latest file index for all packages.

IOW, you should run apt-get update (packages) before apt-file update
(the files inside those packages).

Sigh. Kids, read the doco. From man apt-file (1)

update
This action that just calls apt update or apt-get update (depending
on whether a tty is available).

The only advantage using this over a regular apt update or apt-get
update directly is for the case where you have configured an apt-
file specific configuration (via the Dir::Etc::apt-file-main
configuration option). In that case, said configuration will be
included automatically.

You don't need apt-file update anymore. Apt update or apt-get update do
the trick. (Apt-file update won't hurt, though).
