Bug#118650: apt-get says 'Err ... Packages' instead of Packages.gz

[Paolo (Gabel - ) <gabel@gabel.it>]

Package: apt

[apt-get: 0.3.19 i386]

if there is a 'Packages' file apt-get complains it cannot fetch
'Packages', while actually looking for Packages.gz

Yes, it's in the manual, though I suggest error msg be exact,
or that apt-get is made to get the uncompressed file if the .gz 
one isn't there.

ciao
