Evidently some combination of package lists recently started to exceed
the default limit. I don't see this problem tracking only unstable; I've
seen stable+testing+unstable suggested as the problem.
If you're trying to track all three of these, it might be worth
considering if you really need to. (Of course, it's still a bug in apt
for dealing with its limit being reached quite so gracelessly.)
