Just happened to me too few mins ago with http://ftp.it.debian.org,
usually (very rarely) when it happen I assume is the mirror still not
synced, so I wait a while (from few hours to a couple of days) before
changing mirror in /etc/apt/sources.list.
(now is just fine, work again)

Probably apt is still executing or crashed without removing
/var/lib/apt/lists/lock, you should make sure isn't running then I
think /var/lib/apt/lists/lock could be safely removed.
