Bug#742835: apt: Garbage on apt-cache dumpavail with Acquire::GzipIndexes

[Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.9.16.1
Severity: important

Hi!

Just noticed that «apt-cache dumpavail» is printing binary garbage at
the end when:

  - Acquire::GzipIndexes "true";
  - with a repo providing gzip compressed indices files.

This is not visible with the Debian archive, because it does not
provide gzipped indices files anymore. But I can see it when using
the mozilla team's repository.

My guess is that dumpavail is feeding somehow the gzipped files
uncompressed directly to stdout?

Thanks,
Guillem
