Bug#52302: Bug Report -- apt-get update/apt-get upgrade

[Bradley M Alexander <storm@tux.org>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.1.9

While attempting to upgrade to potato from slink, I invoked apt-get update
and apt-get upgrade after updating my /etc/apt/sources.list. The
sources-list is as follows:

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib
non-free
deb http://www.debian.org/~ljlane/downloads enlightenment-cvs/
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main
contrib non-free


The apt-get update gives me the error:

[root@crazyhorse apt]# apt-get update
E: Attempt to fetch the same file twice
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz

I attempted to change the URL from http.us.debian.org to www.us.debian.org
and received the same error from the non-us.debian.org URL.

Needless to say, since the apt-get update step fails the apt-get upgrade
step also fails.

The specific errors are:

Updating package status cache...E: Can't open
/var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin - open (2 No such file or directory)
E: The previous errors apply to a Package Cache File
/var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin
E: You should probably re-run apt-get update

Please note that this is a standard 2.1r3 machine, the hardware is a
486DX33 with 8MB of ram.

Please feel free to email me if you require more information.

Thanks,
--Brad
