Comment 8 for bug 675641

This gets mitigated by disabling compressed apt index by default again for now. It's easy enough to reenable locally for reproducing the bug, so lowering the severity.

apt (0.8.9ubuntu4) natty; urgency=low

  [ Michael Vogt ]
  * cmdline/apt-key:
    - set timeout of wget for net-update to 90 seconds (thanks to \sh)

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * Revert r1819 and r1820 to disable compressed indexes by default again.
    Testing has brought up a few places where this seriously degrades
    performance, mostly in applications which iterate through all available
    package records, like update-apt-xapian-index or synaptic. See
