My /etc/sources.list would be prohibitively long to paste here, but a
sample of the local entries along with the official Debian ones are
shown below. I can confirm that the same errors occur both with or
without this shortened list.

It seems the errors are occurring with the first two entries below. They
are the first two on the sources.list file. As far as I can see, they
are no different than any other local entry in the file. In addition,
there are no problem with recent version of Apt with these entries.

I've attached this information below. I commented out all the
sources.list entries apart from those listed above to cut down on the
