Package: pciutils
Version: 2.2.4-1.1

Title: "update-pciids does incorrect gunzip/rename"

/usr/share/misc# update-pciids
[does a wget]  http://pciids.sourceforge.net/v2.2/pci.ids.bz2
           => `/usr/share/misc/pci.ids.gz.new'
...
Length: 128,683 (126K) [text/plain]
...
`/usr/share/misc/pci.ids.gz.new' saved [128683/128683]
Done.
/usr/share/misc# ls -al pci*
-rw-r--r--   1 root root 498353 Nov 19 13:55 pci.ids.gz

Two bugs here:

1) lspci can work with directly with the 126K pci.ids.gz file just
fine, no reason to expand it to 497K, unless you feel gunzip may not
be available on some systems

2) If it is going to be gunzipped to 497K, its new name should be
'pci.ids', not 'pci.ids.gz'.
