On a newly set up system I've added the [haskell-core] repo [1], but

I've read [2] and verified (to the best of my ability) that I have
correct time settings.  I've also tried resetting the keys, but that
doesn't improve the situation either.

What else could it be?  How do I find out?  What can I do about it?
I think I've found the reason for it:

Where and why would un-gzipping strike like this?
And now I've confirmed that this un-gzipping doesn't happen on my
private computer at home.  So, what's causing this un-gzipping of the
downloaded repo db, I wonder?

/M

There may be a transparent proxy in your routing chain that strips compression in order to run a virus scan.
The server sends these headers for haskell-core.db
( curl -I http://xsounds.org/~haskell/core/x86_64/haskell-core.db )

    Content-Type: application/x-tar
    Content-Encoding: x-gzip

It might work as expected without a Content-Encoding header:

Content-Type: application/x-gzip
