Package: apt
Version: 1.6~alpha3
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Apparently according to #880645 and #880653 both inherently tell/share
the same story that the debian repo. is broken atm. The reason shared
is the migration from .gz to .xz for probably space saving, cpu cycles
or more reasons.

But the real issue is that apt doesn't tell/document about anyways to
find out why it is not able to get the updated index. It gives some
output about clearsigned files which doesn't tell the whole picture.

The manpage should document if a flag/option is there to find out what
the issues are/error messages which a non-technical person can also
understand/have idea of what's wrong.
