Bug#328485: update also leaves behind files it cannot unzip



I use the round-robin name http.us.debian.org in my apt.sources file.
For some reason, the Sources.gz file on one or more of the mirrors is
incorrectly constructed, or possibly I am receiving an error document.
I have not successfully investigated this aspect yet.

However, after this occurs, apt will never recover, leaving the invalid
Sources.gz in partial despite attempts to update again, blocking
successful acquisition of a valid Sources.gz

Running: su -c "apt-get update"

This will never succeed.

Skonnos:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial# rm http.us.debian.org_debian_dists_testing_non-free_source_Sources

Now it will succeed.
