[pve-devel] [PATCH] try all available compressors for Packages

[Stoiko Ivanov]

Some repositories (e.g. debian-security) only offer .xz compressed
Packages, others (e.g. promox repositories) only .gz compressed ones.

Make the compressors an array and try them in order until successful

Was not too sure about the comment on it being hacky - but it seems ok to me
this way (I think this is what apt does as well?)
