What's the full output?

You can use "-o Acquire::CompressionTypes::Order::=gz" or "-o
Acquire::CompressionTypes::Order::=bz2" to your "apt-get update"
command to specify a file type.

This is what I get:

# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main restricted
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main restricted

# apt-get update
Ign:1 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty InRelease

You should also have "trusty-security" and "trusty-updates" in "sources.list".

Why do you have "deb-src"? Are you building/rebuilding debs?
