Description

I was create Debian packages as described there, and then upload it to registry at Gitea demo site there. I also reproduse this error at my Gitea instanse version 1.20.2.

But when I try to setup this registry from the command line, I get the error:

Reading package lists... Error!
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/try.gitea.io_api_packages_podsvirov_debian_dists_ubuntu_jammy_binary-amd64_Packages.lz4
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

Looks like Gite generate extra empty line inside Package file inside Package description block.

I guess the source of the error in the code is here.

Thank you for the report. That's the first debian package I got which has a double newline character at the end of the control block. I will send a fix soon.
