Problem with dselect - Debian 2.1

[Mike Berrisford <mdb@gci.net>]

Hello list, i recently installed Debian 2.1 and i'm having a problem
with dselect.

I'm using the access method apt.

It tells me i have the source list 
deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

However when i run Update, i get the following

Get ftp://ftp.debian.org stable/contrib Package
Get ftp://ftp.debian.org stable/main Package
Get ftp://ftp.debian.org stable/non-free Package
Fetched 1891k in 3s (548k/s)
Updating package file cache
E: Line 28330 in package file
/var/state/apt/lists/ftp.debian.org_debian_dists_stable_main_binary-i386_Packages is too long.(2)
(same message repeated)
update avaialble list script returned error exit status 100
Press RETURN to continue 

When i look at line 28330 in the Package file
it shows the Depends: line in the package: evolution
That line is 1058 bytes long which i geuss is too long


If i try to run Install , i get the following
E: The cache file /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin is corrupted
E: You should probable re-run apt-get update

Is there anything i can do about this??
Thanks in advance.
