That problem is similar to one that occurs when using apt and
dansguardian/squid. The proxy gunzips the Packages files and
does not regzip them before handing them off to apt-get. So
apt-get fails because it tries to gunzip the already ungzipped
file. Bug report #200193 for dansguardian addresses the issue.
Another fix is to simply turn off the proxy, but I'm afraid
neither of those will work for you. I don't have a fix for you,
but you are not alone in having problems with Packages.gz files
and a proxy.
