Hi Steve, > I had to copy the bzip2 deb package from a working host and install to > get apt to work. Seems you point out a relevant issue here: Existing wheezy and sid hosts that do not have bzip2, for whatever reason, now have their apt broken without the option of fixing them through apt directly.
Perhaps a short-term solution to consider here is to push uncompressed versions of the Translation files to the mirrors? I suppose that'll cause the "offending" mirrors to just return that file instead of the bz2 version? This will increase the storage size required, but only back up to the level of last week (when these Translations were included in the main Package file, which is also offered uncompressed, right?).
