Bug Description
in dapper, when performing "apt-get update" i get an error message. i have been getting this message, everytime that i attempt to update my package lists, since installing dapper about one month ago.
by using firefox, i was able to download and open the relevant "Packages.gz" file without a problem.
i'm not sure if this is a problem with the netork/server or an actual bug in Ubuntu, but there should certainly be a better error message in either case.
the error that the terminal spit out was:
