Package: apt-offline

Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
After applying the fix to apt-offline described in bug #787730, I did:
apt-offline install update.zip
The package list files etc. are correctly synced to /var/lib/apt/lists
but with filename extension .bz2 eg.
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 33775581 Jun 1 21:12
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.uk.debian.org_debian_dists_jessie_main_binary-amd64_Packages
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 33775581 Jun 3 21:45
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.uk.debian.org_debian_dists_jessie_main_binary-amd64_Packages.bz2
Although they have a .bz2 extension, they are actually plain text files
- the output from the "file" command is:
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.uk.debian.org_debian_dists_jessie_main_binary-amd64_Packages.bz2:
ASCII text, with very long lines
When I run aptitude, it reports:
BZ2_bzread: Read error (-5: DATA_ERROR_MAGIC)
Problem opening
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.uk.debian.org_debian_dists_jessie_main_binary-amd64_Packages.bz2
The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
and it does not show any packages.
As a workaround, I've renamed the files to remove the .bz2 extension ie.
(as root):
cd /var/lib/apt/lists
for i in *.bz2; do mv $i `basename $i .bz2`; done
aptitude then works as expected.
I did not have this issue when I upgraded from wheezy to jessie -I
assume that when I first got the jessie package list files etc.
usingapt-offline it was still the wheezy version ie. version 1.2.
