Bug#34962: apt: Does not handle Packages file properly from file uri

[stalex@physlab.sci.ccny.cuny.edu]

Package: apt
Version: 0.3.2

When both Packages and Packages.gz are present apt fails to read
packages fiel from local archive.
Here is the example error message:
Err file:/amnt/deb/debian-non-US/ stable/non-US Packages
  read, still have 34394 to read but none left
Err file:/amnt/deb/debian-non-US/ unstable/non-US Packages
  read, still have 42401 to read but none left
Ign file:/amnt/deb/debian-non-US/ unstable/non-US Release

If I delete uncompressed version of Packages it works again.
