/bin/sh: /bin/sh: cannot execute binary file

Hi,

I´ve got a strange error when running "apt-get upgrade". It says:

>apt-get upgrade

Reading Package Lists... Done

/bin/sh: /bin/sh: cannot execute binary file
E: Write error - write (32 Broken pipe) 

It´s version apt 0.3.13 for i386 compiled on Sep  9 1999  11:09:55 on a
potato system last updated yesterday. /bin/sh itself is executable.

What does apt-get want to execute which could be not executable?

Hope you can give me a hint to fix this stupid error.

Thank you, knue
