I do not remember the whole process, but the idea is to have a hostname
with.gz and then is redirected to the ubuntu repo. This allows us to
have blacklist in packages.gz There are several things that must be
resolved before as the subject of apt-cache. I remeber You Need to
modify apt-get package

apt-transport-https
apt-utils

This has disadvantages, but it is temporal solution


If you have a server to do that it is better.
