Comment 2 for bug 271309

This bug was fixed in the package germinate - 1.9

---------------
germinate (1.9) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix fallback from .bz2 files when OSError is raised.
  * Try promoting alternative dependencies before adding new packages to the
    output. While the first dependency in an |-ed list may be promoted from
    any lesser seed, doing this for all alternatives produces pathological
    output, so instead we only promote from "close-by" lesser seeds, i.e.
    those that list the current seed in a Task-Seeds header (LP: #271309).

germinate (1.8) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Fix -S example to use file:// where the rest of the documentation says
    you should (LP: #264471).

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Prefer Packages.bz2 and Sources.bz2 to .gz if possible; if neither
    works, fall back to the uncompressed files.
