I have some more info on this, added print repr(magic) print repr('\037\213') into _read_gzip_header(self) in gzip.py from python and here's the output of reportbug: Checking for newer versions at packages.debian.org... '\x1f\x8b' '\x1f\x8b' '\x1f\x8b' '\x1f\x8b' http://pdo.debian.net/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?searchon=names&version=all&exact=1&keywords=reportbug '<!' '\x1f\x8b' def _read_gzip_header(self): magic = self.fileobj.read(2) print repr(magic) print repr('\037\213') is the beginning of the function, just for reference what I'm printing. My guess is: self.fileobj.read() already returns the unzipped content of the file and thus this is failing. However I have no idea why, I first thought maybe the python in $HOME/python2.4 which is in PATH before /usr/bin would interfere, but even in a clean environment I have this problem. Even a totally fresh user has it. Andreas -- You can rent this space for only $5 a week.
