This is more likely to be a coonection problem than a bug. The reason this problem happens is that apt keeps the partial downloads in /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/ and sometimes because of some faulty connection to the internet some parts of the list the repositories (in gzip format) cannot be downloaded properly. The easiest way to solve this problem is to remove all contents of the partial folder by a simple command:
sudo rm -v /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/* and then try to update the apt again. Can someone check it out and send us the results? -- gzip error when updating packages https://launchpad.net/bugs/59353 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
