Can't remove package from repo

[AHPyXA]

Hello.

I added new package in repo and need to replace it with new version, but
aptly repo remove my_repo new_package
only shows

Loading packages...

ends and don't do anything.

If I trying to delete one of my old packages all works as expected

Command
aptly repo show -with-packages my_repo
shows new_package in the list, but
aptly package show new_package
doesn't show anything

I tried add new version with -force-replace - look's like it's done, but I still can't view information or delete this package.

aptly db cleanup and aptly db recover can't fix this

aptly version: 1.1.1

What can I try to do else?

It's hard to say anything without details. But in general looks like package query new_package is wrong and doesn't match any package.

Sorry for so abstract explanation.
Here is a nearly raw output

root@repo:~# aptly repo show -with-packages exp-trusty-local
Name: exp-trusty-local
Comment: Infra Local Repo
Default Distribution: trusty
Default Component: main
Number of packages: 20
Packages:

  firefox-esr_52.2.1_all
  firefox-esr_52.1.2_all
  firefox-esr_52.1.1_all
...

My problem is "VMware-Horizon-Client_4.5.0_all"

Trying to delete

@AHPyXA thanks, I see the problem now - it's the package name which starts with captial letter (VMware...), aptly treats that in a wrong way.

I'll get this bug fixed, in the meantime you can try using other formats of package query to match it, like (Name VMware-Horizon-Client)

[AHPyXA]

@smira Thank you!

Query with 'Name' did the trick

aptly package show 'Name (% VMware-Horizon-Client)'
