Bug#81829: Bub 81829 again?



Dear people,

3 years ago this bug was happened.  [1]
Now I have the same problem with a Sarge from 30 july 2004. I also have 
strange behaviour as do:
dpkg -l > packages 

and found errors in some packages because the name is malformed and run again 
the dpkg and found errors in another packages, and run again and non error 
found.

Also, rm the /var/cache/apt/*.bin doesn't works, and all of the problems began 
with an error of gzip :
gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error
....

So, how I can know if it's and error of apt, or libc/libstdc++ as you said? Or 
is again a problem of apt, pr the hd fail?

Thank's in advance.

Leo

Pd I have to say that I'm a bit worry ....

Their are only 2 known cases where this happens:
   1) Your libc/libstdc++ is screwed
   2) Your system has corrupted the data in /var/cache/apt/*.bin

In #1 you have to fix it, in #2 it usually fixes itself next 'update', but
if that is not the case 'rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin' always fixes it.
 
Nobody has been able to show that these are actual APT bugs, the reason I
have not closed the reports is because I would like it to handle #2 more
elegantly and make a better error message.
