Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
Since I upgrade my whole system to Jessie, the following line in my daemon.log have appeared:
approx[7161]: Failure: cannot download debian/dists/jessie-backports/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2

It happens twice a day for 5 systems for 2 approx installation.


If you check:
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie-backports/main/binary-i386/

You'll see that the Packages.bz2 doesn't exist. Anyway the client uses
the Packages.xz version.

I suppose if it is possible to download either .xz or .bz2 we should not
raise an exception for the other one.

Regards
Sylvain
