Package: apt Version: 0.1.10 Running apt-get update a few minutes ago with this file caused a "http" process to take 100% CPU time. It took 100% CPU for a couple of minutes on my Pentium 233 which indicates to me that it was never going to complete whatever it was trying to do. gzip decompressing the file in /var/state/apt/lists/partial took only a few seconds so that wasn't the problem. Once I manually decompressed the file and put it in the /var/state/apt/lists directory and used "touch -r" to give it the right time stamp everything was fine and apt operations now proceed as normal.
