I have been experiencing this same error, sometimes mixed with a gzip error complaining that stdin is not in gzip format for about a week now. I just changed my sources.list to use ftp instead of http and the problem went away. However, to make the problem more curious, when this problem started happening I was using mirrors.kernel.org so I switched to ftp.us.debian.org thinking maybe it was a mirror problem. But that did not fix it either. Only switching to ftp seemed to fix it. This would make me suspect that it's a bug with apt-get, except that I am using http for debian-multimedia.org and wine.sourceforge.net without problems. Thoughts, anyone?
