They never worked well for outside code. That's just a fact. Most stuff will even simply break, dd-list for example. I recently announced a mass bug filing to fix this. For those that work but are slow, it's mostly always a issue of random access to Packages files instead of linear access. Acquire::gzipIndexes exists since more than 5 years, since 0.7.26~exp10 from 12 Jul 2010 to be precise. Let's make sure we get it working now that it's actually fast. -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/.
