Ran into this as well, and 'gz' trick seems to be of no effect either (tried removing all the lists and refetching as well):
$> sudo apt-get -o 'Acquire::CompressionTypes::Order::="gz"' update ...

They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. That apt entry is multiarch and here is sources.list (there is few more under .d). the only remedy was to remove i386 from the sid entry deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ jessie main non-free contrib deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian/ jessie main non-free contrib deb [arch=amd64,i386] http://http.debian.net/debian/ sid main non-free contrib deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian/ sid main non-free contrib deb [arch=amd64,i386 popcon=no] http://http.debian.net/debian/ experimental main non-free contrib deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian/ experimental main non-free contrib -- Yaroslav O.
