Does this happen before it even downloads the Package files from the
sources during apt-get update? (You might notice I don't really know
much of the technical stuff of apt-get. But here is an uninformed idea
anyway: what happens if you delete
/var/lib/apt/lists/http.us.debian.org_debian_dists_testing_main_binary-i386_Packages
before running apt-get update again?)
