apt-get update failing



I have an slink machine trying to do an "apt-get update" via an
autofs-mounted nfs directory mirror of ftp.us.debian.org on a remote
machine.  (Got that ? :) I'm getting the following error ...

fsmail:~# apt-get update
Get file:/amnt/mirrors/debian/debian-non-US/ unstable/non-US Packages
Get file:/amnt/mirrors/debian/ frozen/contrib Packages
Get file:/amnt/mirrors/debian/ frozen/main Packages

E: Line 3 in package file
/var/state/apt/lists/amnt_mirrors_debian_dists_frozen_main_binary-i386_Packa
ges is too long.(2)
fsmail:~#

Kind of weird.  This is the file in question ...

fsmail:~# ls -la
/var/state/apt/lists/amnt_mirrors_debian_dists_frozen_main_binary-i386_Packa
ges

ges

And here's the first 10 lines ...

fsmail:~# head -10

I don't see anything amiss in the package file there, do you ?
