Debian Package index file parsing problem #613

Open scentoni opened 5 hours ago

scentoni commented 5 hours ago

This Debian Package index file has 20 stanzas, but jc is only returning 2. A little experimentation with modifying the input shows it's specifically returning only the first and last stanza listed in the input.

$ curl -sSO 'http://repo.aptly.info/dists/squeeze/main/binary-amd64/Packages'
$ grep Filename Packages |wc -l
      20
$ jc <Packages --pkg-index-deb |jq length                                                       
2

Hi - thanks for reporting this. I wonder if this has to do with all of the packages having the same name. Hopefully won't be too hard to fix!

I have a fix in the dev branch that will go in the next release. You can test the new parser by downloading the file[1] below to your parser plugin directory:

https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc/blob/dev/jc/parsers/rpm_qi.py

Linux/unix: $HOME/.local/share/jc/jcparsers
macOS: $HOME/Library/Application Support/jc/jcparsers
Windows: $LOCALAPPDATA\jc\jc\jcparsers

Let me know if you run into any issues!

[1] Note that --pkg-index-deb is really just an alias to --rpm-qi
