Bug#556216: apt: Acquire::CompressionTypes causes infinite loop
Package: apt
Version: 0.7.23.1
Severity: normal
When I set Acquire::CompressionTypes (thanks for this feature, BTW!), "aptitude update" seems to enter an infinite loop (left it running for several minutes).
Configuration taken from [1] since it was documented neither in [2] nor in apt.conf(5).
