Approx only works correctly with Packages.gz files. Normally apt-get does not request uncompressed Packages files; have you configured it specifically to do so? > Did you even test this patch at all?

But as I said, I have a "vanilla" apt configuration on my clients, so they request only compressed index files. -- Eric Cooper e c c @ c m u . e d u -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
