Package: gzip
Version: 1.4-1
Severity: minor

The manual page contains links to RFC-s describing the gzip file format:

The gzip file format is specified in P. Deutsch, GZIP file format specification version 4.3, <ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc1952.txt>, Internet RFC 1952 (May 1996). The zip deflation format is specified in P. Deutsch, DEFLATE Compressed Data Format Specification version 1.3, <ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc1951.txt>, Internet RFC 1951 (May 1996).

There is no in-notes/ directory on ftp://ftp.isi.edu/, so the links yield 550 errors.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GZIP#File_format has working links to these RFC-s. These have the non-marginal extra benefit of using HTTP rather than FTP.
I assume this is an upstream bug.
