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).

Hi Sascha Silbe,
First of all: Thanks for the report! :)
(and btw: Thanks from the team for the feature-thanks ;) )
> Configuration taken from [1] since it was documented neither in [2] nor in apt.conf(5).
Sry, but this configuration is broken (TM) and
i therefore close this bugreport (for now) but feel free to reopen it
if it is still broken after fixing the configuration.
While i used the idea and some code from the patch i tried especially to
simplify adding more compression types and/or using a different method
for a compression type on the fly so the option is a bit more complicated.
You should find a brief description in apt.conf (5) at the end of the
Acquire-group description: But please note that you should try 0.7.24
which is currently laying around in unstable as mips has a pretty obscure
build failure.
The description in 0.7.24 is a bit more detailed and an Order sub-group
was added (with a syntax close to the one in your first link)
to simplify the process a bit.
If you have further questions or any suggestions:
You know there you can find us. ;)
Best regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
David "DonKult" Kalnischkies
