Public bug reported:
I am getting the following errors when running
sudo -u apt-mirror apt-mirror

After looking at the source code, I believe the following code fragment
inside "process_index_gz" should be the following:
if ( $index =~ s/\.gz$// )
{
system("gunzip < $mirror$index.gz > $mirror$index");
print "done!\n";
}
instead of the original:
if ( $index =~ s/\.gz$// )
{
system("gunzip < $path/$index.gz > $path/$index");
print "done!\n";
}
Since $path despite its name came from:
$path = sanitise_uri($uri);
and $mirror came from:
$mirror = get_variable("mirror_path") . "/" . $path;
