The mirrors have been modified to no longer include the uncompressed Package files. Now only the compressed Packages.gz and Packages.bz2 files are available. The apt tools have been updated to handle this and they should be downloading the compressed versions. This saves both on download bandwidth from the archives and in disk space. That change is by intentional design. > When I look at what aptitude or apt try do download I see only > Packages file, not the Packages.bz2 or Packages.gz that are on the > debian mirrors. Correct. > anyone else having similar problems? No problems here. You did not say what tool you are using. If this is apt-get or aptitude then of course those are working okay for everyone or there would be lots of complaints. This makes me think you are using some other tool such as debmirror or reprepro or something and might have an older copy that isn't handling the archive format change. Please post the exact commands you are running and the exact output you are seeing. If you are using apt-get or aptitude then also post the non-comment parts of the /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* files. Bob
