Bug#35771: apt: "E: Invalid operation dumpavail" error

[<jcjneudo@arclab.static.golden.net>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.3.2



-- System Information
Debian Release: 2.1
Kernel Version: Linux arc 2.2.5 #1 Wed Mar 31 15:40:19 EST 1999 i586 unknown

Versions of the packages apt depends on:
ii  libc6           2.0.7.19981211 GNU C Library: shared libraries
ii  libstdc++2.9    2.91.60-5      The GNU stdc++ library (egcs version)

Hi.  I keep getting this.  Is it a problem?  I've set my "lists" and
"archives" directories to an NFS mounted shared directory, so that may
be part of the problem
