Bug#40434: apt: apt-get update give errors

[<cbf@redlider.com.uy>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.3.9
Severity: high

Hello!

In /etc/apt/sources.list I have this line:

deb file:/mnt/debian unstable main contrib non-free

Now the problem is that apt-get update does not work
The error are this:
----------------------------------------------------------
Err file:/mnt/debian/ unstable/main Packages

Ign file:/mnt/debian/ unstable/main Release
Err file:/mnt/debian/ unstable/contrib Packages

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these missing files
----------------------------------------------------

The file
/var/state/apt/lists/mnt_debian_dists_unstable_*_binary-i386_Packages
does not exist after an instalation. I did touch those files and then the it
works but with this annoying messages:

Err file:/mnt/debian/ unstable/main Packages
