However, now I get new errors:

Installed 0.6.9, and now:

Is it possible that I'm getting outdated copies of the Packages.gz and Sources.gz file, possible due to my webcache? Yes, taking out the proxy in /etc/apt/apt.conf fixes this.
Squid is certainly within its rights to not fetch a new version of Packages.gz and Sources.gz while fetching the new Release file, and it seems it happens. Especially with the amount of transparent proxying that exists in the wild, this could be a problem...
