apt-move package

apt-move skips some files and I don't know the reason

Asked by Jorge Suárez de Lis

Apt-move refuses to move some files to my repository. I've followed the step described on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-move/+bug/425344/comments/2 so universe/multiverse/restricted packages get moved, but the problem persists with some packages (see output below).

Other packages from the same repository, as nvidia-current does not suffer from this problem (see the output below from the apt Packages file for some affected files, and also for the unaffected nvidia-current).

Description: Tool of configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver
 The nvidia-settings utility is a tool for configuring the NVIDIA
 Linux graphics driver. It operates by communicating with the NVIDIA
 X driver, querying and updating state as appropriate. This
 communication is done with the NV-CONTROL X extension.
 .
 Values such as brightness and gamma, XVideo attributes, temperature,
 and OpenGL settings can be queried and configured via nvidia-settings.

Description: NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library
 The binary driver provide optimized hardware acceleration of OpenGL
 applications via a direct-rendering X Server. AGP, PCIe, SLI, TV-out
 and flat panel displays are also supported.
 .
 This package also includes the source for building the kernel module
 required by the Xorg driver, and provides NVIDIA's implementation of
 the Video Decode and presentation API. The latter enables acceleration
 for NVIDIA 8 and later series cards for h264 video.
 .
 GPUs such as GeForce series 6 or newer are supported.
 .
 See /usr/share/doc/nvidia-current/README.txt.gz for a complete list
 of supported GPUs and PCIIDs

Commenting these two lines on /usr/share/apt-move/getdist.awk solved the problem:

function getdist(section, dist, a) {
        if (section in _getdist) {
                return _getdist[section]
        }

        dist = section
        ldist = tolower(dist)

        if (match(ldist, /^non-us\/[^\/]*/)) {
                dist = "non-US" substr(dist, 7, RLENGTH - 6)
        } else if (ldist == "non-us") {
                dist = "non-US/main"
        #THIS ONE } else if (match(dist, /^[^\/]*\//)) {
        # THIS ONE TOO dist = substr(dist, 1, RLENGTH - 1)
        } else {
                dist = "main"
        }
        return _getdist[section] = dist
}
