I use the round-robin name http.us.debian.org in my apt.sources file.
For some reason, the Sources.gz file on one or more of the mirrors is
incorrectly constructed, or possibly I am receiving an error document.
I have not successfully investigated this aspect yet.
However, after this occurs, apt will never recover, leaving the invalid
Sources.gz in partial despite attempts to update again, blocking
successful acquisition of a valid Sources.gz
