[Bug 1027801] Re: Packages.gz not found because instead searching for Packages only
I changed the mirror, now apt-get update workd fine.
After reading https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=389894 I
suspect an issue with the server itself.

Title:
Packages.gz not found because instead searching for Packages only
Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
apt-get update gives a warning (not only apt-get: synaptic or all
other packet managing tools too):
W: Failed to fetch
http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/multiverse/binary-
amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 141.30.13.20 80]
This warning is ok, since "Packages" doesn't exist at
"http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/multiverse/binary-
amd64/". "Packages.gz" (or Packages.bz2) do exist indeed. Two
possibilities:
1. The string "http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/multiverse/binary-amd64/Packages.gz" is exactly 3 characters to long for the defined buffer, thus shortened by ".gz".
2. The Repository isn't correctly initialized, stating "Packages" instead of "Packages.gz" or "Packages.bz2" to load.
Since all other repositories are loaded and look the same (and
defining a new repository holding the very same files than this ony,
but with a shorter path makes it load) I am tending to the first
possibility ...
