Extract from sudo aptitude update output today:


Get:8 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com dapper-updates/main Packages [356kB]
99% [8 Packages gzip 0] [Logging in]
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
Err http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com dapper-updates/main Packages
Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)

Is anyone else seeing this?

Do:-

sudo apt-get install --reinstall gzip
and see if that fixes it.

Do:-

sudo apt-get install --reinstall gzip
and see if that fixes it.It doesn't appear to have been a gzip issue per se. The error message reported concerned one specific section of the update data only, the remainder of the update data was downloaded and processed normally.
