It's expected behaviour for some content negotiation setup, and it's about filename and not 'compressed or not', specially MultiViews in Apache. > As it does not happen with all mirrors, but only with ftp2.de.d.o (and > others?), I'm inclined to blame the mirror configuration. A HTTP client for Translation-en, and the daemon tells in Content-Location that the file sent is Translation-en.bz2, there is no problem (as long as the client fully support HTTP). And I am sure more mirrors than only ftp2.de.d.o may have Multiviews enabled.

Any way, IMO it's up to apt to be robust to that. Regards. -- Simon Paillard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
