Problem with apt-get

[Brad Camroux <bgcamroux@shaw.ca>]

Hello,

I appear to be having some trouble with apt-get.  First of all, 
apt-spy won't run complete - it freezes at some point.  Then, when I 
try to run apt-get update, I get the following error:

<snip>

ftp.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

I have no idea what "Dynamic MMap" is, nor why it's having trouble 
with pike7.2.  Really, I have no idea why any of this is happening.  
Does anyone have any ideas for fixing this?

Thanks,
