...maybe the reason is apt changed a lot in the version 0.5.x in sid, i
mean you made an upgrade to apt 0.5.x and the cache-files changed. then
you take the changed files to a box with the old apt-cache-files and it
didn't worked. just try to make an apt-get update on one other maschine,
do the upgrade and then try to copy the cache files between these two
machines, if it works you have the prob. (e.g. gnome-apt is removed when
upgrading apt because the cache files changed).
Just a hint, please inform me if i'm right :-)

joris
