GOOD http://free.nchc.org.tw/debian/pool/main/g/getmail4/getmail4_4.46.0-1+deb8u1_all.deb
BAD http://free.nchc.org.tw/debian/pool/main/g/getmail4/getmail4_4.53.0-1+deb9u1_all.deb
I think it has to do with a change from .gz to .xz:
$ w3m -dump http://free.nchc.org.tw/debian/pool/main/g/getmail4 | grep -P \\d.debian.tar
[ ] getmail4_4.46.0-1+deb8u1.debian.tar.xz 2015-09-03 7.5K
[ ] getmail4_4.46.0-1.debian.tar.xz 2014-04-22 7.0K
[ ] getmail4_4.46.0-1~deb7u1.debian.tar.gz 2014-12-08 8.0K
[ ] getmail4_4.53.0-1+deb9u1.debian.tar.xz 2017-11-03 7.5K
[ ] getmail4_4.53.0-2.debian.tar.xz 2017-10-07 7.5K
In the minibuffer: "File mode specification error: (error Malformed Tar header)"
By the way, even trying to view ( v runs the command dired-view-file )
causes the BAD file buffers to get altered in memory:
When trying to exit emacs, one will be asked
Buffer getmail4_4.53.0-1+deb9u1_all.deb-INFO modified; kill anyway? (yes or no)
