Steve,

Now I understand. I don't have any source packages in the local
repository, and hence an empty Sources.gz file. Commenting out the
deb-src line in my sources.list solves the problem.

Please close the bug if it's the intended behaviour of apt (or at least
apt-src). It would just seem a bit harsh that the error of 1 out of many
repositories should stop it from working altogether.

Thanks for your time and enlightening me something more about debian.

Regards,
ST
