Your sources.list must not be correct then, or something is fubared

Try this...
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
There is no /var/lib/apt/lists/ directory.
then make SURE /etc/apt/sources.list is correct.
the only non-comment lines are:
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main
contrib non-free
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main
contrib non-free
Then update the package list, and try and get dpkg first, then apt.
That should work. Let us all know the result.
spaz:/etc/apt# ls -ld /var/lib/apt/lists/
ls: /var/lib/apt/lists/: No such file or directory
spaz:/etc/apt# apt-get update

That's strange. Stable has apt 0.3.19; testing has apt 0.5.4. This
should
have worked. Perhaps apt is among the "5 not upgrade" packages, for
some
reason? You could work around this by installing the new apt (and
its
dependencies) through "dpkg".
There is a simple way... do apt-get -v
What is the output? What version does it report?
spaz:~# apt-get -v
apt 0.3.19 for i386 compiled on May 12 2000 21:17:27
spaz:~#
Then we'll know all.
