Bug#206187: apt-get update fails to get index package list and therefore does nothing



Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4 (debian woody 3.0r1)
Session:
mafalda:~# apt-get update
Get:1 http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Packages [146kB]
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 147kB in 6s (21.5kB/s)
Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dists/stable/updates/main/binary-i386/Packages Waited, for gzip but it wasn't there
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
W: Couldn't stat source package list http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/security.debian.org_dists_stable_updates_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
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.

Kernel version:
Linux mafalda 2.2.20-idepci #1 Sat Apr 20 12:45:19 EST 2002 i586 unknown

Shared C library version: 2.2.5 (/lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.2.5.so)

Comentaries:
I have tried to update my system many times, this problem is happening since at least 4-5 months. I'm not sure, but maybe my machine has a rootkit. Anyway, everything seems to work ok except for this bug I'm reporting.
