Hi, 


Problem
-------

Acquire::GzipIndexes "true" is not working properly with the default
Acquire::CompressionTypes::Order, because apt downloads the "Packages" file as
a bzip2 and not the gzip one archive : it simply never gzip the "Packages"
files.

It occurs since recently (i was late at updating, so install date would not be
relevant).

Here is my apt.conf :

APT::Install-Recommends "false";
APT::Install-Suggests "false";
APT::Get::Purge "true";
Acquire::GzipIndexes "true";
Dir::Cache::srcpkgcache "";
Dir::Cache::pkgcache "";

The 'apt-config dump' :

APT "";
APT::Architecture "i386";
APT::Build-Essential "";
APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential";
APT::Install-Recommends "false";
APT::Install-Suggests "false";

CommandLine "";
CommandLine::AsString "apt-config dump";


Reproduce it
------------

(that's barbaric)

cd /var/lib/apt/lists
rm *
# use the apt.conf above.
apt-get update



Workaround
----------

I had to add this to my apt.conf: 

Acquire::CompressionTypes::Order:: "gz";


Please document it, or change the Compression order when GzipIndexes is set to
true.


Cheers, 

François.

This was fixed in 1.0.9.2 with the changelog entry:

  * generalize Acquire::GzipIndex to support all compressions that
    apt supports

So, this bug can be closed which I am doing with this message now.
