bug#37218: Regarding the error "java.util.zip.ZipException: Corrupt GZIP trailer"

[Anoopanand Malik]

Dear Jim and Paul,

Greetings from India!!

I have been using Ubuntu since last 3 years and working large data-sets for my 
biotechnology related analysis. I installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on a new working 
station (with specifications : 1 TB HDD, 32 GB RAM, 64-bit). This system is a 
dual boot system as it also has Windows 10 as an operating system.

I used to receive large sequencing files (or raw files) with an extension .gz 
(gzipped) which were usually downloaded from the ftp servers. The scripts for 
my analysis frequently include gunziping and gziping commands of the same raw 
file. Presently, I am using the following java version "openjdk  11.0.4" and 
GNU version

gunzip (gzip) 1.6

This error was not observed with the old files which were analyzed before the 
installation of this working station. I would like to request you to solve this 
bug as I am unable to proceed further with this error and I would be happy to 
answer any other query/information regarding the same.

Thanks and regards
