apt-listbugs (actually libzlib-ruby1.8) crc errors: fixed
I've seen it mentioned on the list once or twice, and been annoyed by it
myself, so I decided to track down the crc error problem of apt-listbugs
on amd64.
The problem was actually in ruby's zlib module, accidentally
sign-extending 32-bit values read from the gzip file. (Thus why it would
work sometimes and others not, if the crc had the high bit set..)
Here is the bug report (with patch):
