Bug#199653: Can't upgrade woody - apt-get update - expected gzip but it wasn't there
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Debian version: woody
Description:
I can't use apt-get update. I get the following error message:
$ apt-get update
Get:1 http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Packages [130kB]
Get:2 http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Release [110B]
Err http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Packages
Waited, for gzip but it wasn't there
Fetched 130kB in 5s (23.4kB/s)
Failed to fetch

Waited, for gzip but it wasn't there

(/var/lib/apt/lists/security.debian.org_dists_stable_updates_main_binary-i386_Packages)

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones
used instead.
This has happened to me ever since I have Debian installed (february 2003),
but once, about a month ago, it did work and I was able to upgrade my system.
This is the content of my /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r1 _Woody_ - Official i386 Binary-7
(20021218)]/ unstable contrib main non-US/contrib non-US/main

#deb http://security.debian.org/ woody/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main
The last two lines I have tested uncommenting one or the other with the
same result.
Kernel: 2.2.20-idepci
Shared C library: /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.2.5.so
Thanks for your wonderful work.
