Not sure. Did you originally create your local mirror with apt-move 3.x
(potato version) ? Are you now using 4.x (woody version) ? If so you need to
read /usr/share/doc/apt-move/README. There were major changes between 3.x and
4.x. If you have not done apt-move fsck then perhaps the Packages.gz apt-move
creates are corrupted and this in turn is affecting /var/lib/dpkg/available.
