apt-get update problems

[Jan Schledermann <spamtrap@schledermann.org>]

I am getting this sort of messages a lot the last month or two, while
running apt-get update:

        Ign ftp://ftp.nl.debian.org sarge/main Packages
        99% [Packages bzip2 0] [Query]
        bzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly;
        perhaps it is corrupted?  *Possible* reason follows.
        bzip2: Inappropriate ioctl for device
        Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)

        It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
        You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

        You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover
        data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.

        Err ftp://ftp.nl.debian.org sarge/contrib Packages
        Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)

The next day the update may work well or result in similar error messages.

Am I the only one having such problems or what?

Best regards
Jan
