 If you want to access the generated Packages file with
 .B apt
 you will probably need to compress the file with
-.BR gzip (1)
-(generating a Packages.gz file). apt ignores uncompressed Packages
+.BR bzip2 (1)
+(generating a Packages.bz2 file). apt ignores uncompressed Packages
 files except on local access (i.e.
 .B file://
 sources).
