I ran into similar problems with version 0.6.46-3 as Adrew explains 
above.  In fact, I was referred to bug report #401263 a couple of weeks 
ago which was exactly what I was experiencing with apt .  My present 
version of apt is 0.6.46.4 and I no longer see this problem.  So I think 
you may have to upgrade the version of apt you're running to make this 
problem disappear.
