how to rebuild "available" list with apt-get/aptitude



Hello,

working with "apt-get update" only, lately i noticed, that the
/var/lib/dpkg/available list wont be updated. Te list is updated if i call
apt-get update from dselect apt method). Is therte a command to rebuild the
available list from apt's cache, since i find it very handy to use that file
for looking at the package structure of debian.

Greetings
Bernd
