Where are the cache files of the apt-file program ? Looks like it has some large files because it contains the information about files within all the packages in the repository (installed or uninstalled).But I cannot find their location.

apt-file stores its indexes alongside the other apt indexes, in /var/lib/apt/lists by default. Look for the files with “Contents” in their name.
