Are we talking about the same thing at all? anna removes the Packages
file after parsing it:

        unlink(DOWNLOAD_DIR "/Packages");

I guess if it fails mid-download you might have an incomplete Packages
file still there. In that case, I think this is something that should be
changed in net-retriever.
