Bug#505092: "apt-get update" stuck at "99% [5 Packages gzip 0]"

[Magicloud Magiclouds <magicloud.magiclouds@gmail.com>]

Same here.
Debian sid, apt package version 0.8.15.8.
Seemed that rred died in loop. And no response to kill -9. The process
kept in R process status, and cost 50%sys with one cpu core.
