Several other mirrors have the same file.
OK, I believe the problem has been fixed. It will be until the mirrors
are re-synced before everyone sees the changes.
For some reason, the permissions on some of the files (Packages and
Packages.gz, for example) were being eliminated. Not sure why this
happened, but I found a similar bug report from 2010 that said it was
fixed. I just changed the script to work around the issue.
Give it 24 hours and let me know if there are still issues.
