Running this same command works just fine here.
If 'unxz' from xz-utils is found, then the .xz version is used; bunzip2 will
similarly be tried (but isn't on the mirror) and then gunzip is searched for
and the .gz file is used.

That is what is supposed to happen (and does for me). Is it possible that you
somehow do not have unxz and gunzip available in PATH?
I see that you've created this bug report without using reportbug and from
what looks like a non-Debian system -- is the version against which you have
reported this bug incorrect? Is there additional information you can provide?
Cheers
