Couldn't check that because they are Berkeley DB and I don't know how to view them. FWIW, I also tried "bunzip2 -c Packages.bz2 | gzip -c -9 > Packages.gz" then reran "apt-proxy-import /var/cache/apt/archives" but that gave no better results than after having just bunzip'd the files. Anyway to fix this ? I'm on dial-up and would really love not having to redownload the stuff for two other machines on my LAN.
