Bug#943679: Apt fails to update ANY package if ONE source gives a malformed package list



Package: apt

Version: 1.8.3

Severity: serious

I have the following entries in my /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb https://adoptopenjdk.jfrog.io/adoptopenjdk/deb/ disco main
deb-src https://adoptopenjdk.jfrog.io/adoptopenjdk/deb/ disco main

Currently, apt-get update gives errors about these sources:

E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/adoptopenjdk.jfrog.io_adoptopenjdk_deb_dists_disco_main_binary-amd64_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

However, I also get the same errors when I use apt-get install, apt-get upgrade or apt-cache policy, even when the package I'm trying to install, update or check the version of doesn't depend on adoptopenjdk. Shouldn't apt still be able to process the package lists from unaffected sources, and install and upgrade packages that don't come from or depend on the affected sources?
