[Bug 1923845] Re: Please compress packages with zstd by default

[Julian Andres Klode]

There seems to be a bug in bionic's apt.

root at bb:/home/jak/Projects# python3 -c 'import apt_inst, apt_pkg; apt_pkg.init(); apt_inst.DebFile("glibc-doc-reference_2.33-0ubuntu2_zstd1_all.deb").control.extractdata("control")'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
LookupError: There is no member named 'control'
Error in sys.excepthook:
