Bug#366931: Apt fails of 0 byte files

["C.Y.M" <syphir@syphir.sytes.net>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.6.44
Severity: important

When I type "apt-get source", apt fails on the following:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Unable to parse package file
/var/lib/apt/lists/sentinel.dk_debian_dists_unstable_contrib_source_Sources (2)
E: Unable to parse package file
/var/lib/apt/lists/sentinel.dk_debian_dists_unstable_non-free_source_Sources (2)


If i go back to the previous version of apt, then it works fine.  With the
current version of apt, I am unable to get any source using "apt-get source".
The twi files above that apt-get fails on are 0 byte files.
