It's likely nothing you did. See this message from eariler Sunday:

I just verified today (Tuesday) that the Contents-i386 files that
apt-file uses are still being generated empty. That's a bug. I
believe that apt-file cannot work until it can access a proper
Contents-* file, which means you'll have to wait until that's fixed.
