Hi Frans Pop & debian-devel, > Thanks! David Kalnischkies and I were able to reproduce a crash for > sources that had no Packages file. This is fixed with the 0.7.23.1 For anybody further interested in the bug: Something like a index-out-of-bounce, but libapt didn't access the end (this was checked!) it only iterates over the end... sorry my bad.

See: man 5 apt.conf -> THE ACQUIRE GROUP -> CompressionTypes The description is far from being perfect and a few things are missing so real world input is highly welcomed. Addition: The order is defined by insertion into the list and missing default methods will be added automatically at runtime, so everything you need to do to prefer gzip over bzip2 and lzma would be: Acquire::CompressionTypes::gz gzip; NEWS entry> I thought it is more a power user option and as it changes nothing to the default so imo not fit for an entry, but after cleaning up the documentation on this option we will announce it as an aside in an upcoming NEWS entry, i guess.
