I think that is a different problem: in that report, the machine is running bunzip2 but it is taking longer to verify the file than the apt client is prepared to wait. > I have a related question, please advise if I should file separately. > I wonder why apt is asking for things that don't exist in the archive; the > URL > http://security.debian.org/debian-security/dists/etch/updates/non-free/bina >ry-i386/Packages.diff/Index returns a 404.

The Packages.diff format is an optional extra that is not present in all archives. apt first tries this URL, and if it does not exist, will request the complete Packages file. The behaviour you have seen is normal on archives that do not have the Packages.diff directory. > Possibly this is related to #336433 ? Not really. That bug report asked for apt-proxy to recognise those files on servers where those files exist. security.debian.org/debian-security does not have those files.
