I had struggled with a similar problem. I went to
http://localhost:3142/acng-report.html page:

Under "Shared processing options":
	
	Check the following:
		`Force the download of index files (even having fresh ones)'

Under "Expiration":
  
  Check the following:
    `Ignore the threshold that aborts early when there is probably not much to do'
    `then validate file contents through checksum (SLOW), also detecting corrupt files,'
    `then truncate damaged files immediately.'
    `Treat incomplete files as damaged.'
    `Purge unreferenced files immediately after scan'

Then click on "Start Scan and/or Expiration" button. 

In the resultant page click on "Check all" button and then click on "Delete
selected files". You will be shown another page asking for confirmation of
deleting the files - click on the "Delete now" button.

Now try another run of "apt/apt-get update". I had to do the above steps quiet a
few times before I was able to get things working.

HTH,
didar
