Bug#366717: Method http has died unexpectedly (Packages/DiffIndex)

[Martin Michlmayr <tbm@cyrius.com>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.6.44
Severity: important

After upgrading my unstable chroot, apt no longer works.  I get:

sh-3.1# apt-get -V update
Get:1 http://ftp.de.debian.org sid Release.gpg [189B]
Hit http://ftp.de.debian.org sid Release
Get:2 http://ftp.de.debian.org sid/main Packages/DiffIndex [12.6kB]
E: Method http has died unexpectedly!
sh-3.1#

When I change /etc/apt/sources.list, I get:

sh-3.1# apt-get update
Get:1 http://ftp.es.debian.org sid Release.gpg [189B]
E: Method http has died unexpectedly!
sh-3.1#

Any idea?



sh-3.1# apt-get -v update
