Bug#401263: rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin fixed it

[Jan Evert van Grootheest <j.e.van.grootheest@caiway.nl>]

Hi,

After reading comments of Gordon and Florian, I also tried removing the 
*.bin files from /var/cache/apt/.
Apt-get now works again.

At first I thought that Gordons issue and mine were different due to the 
totally different backtraces.
However, now that the same action fixes it, it might be the same problem 
after all.

I have both the faulty and good sets of *.bin files, in case those might 
be helpful to somebody. Just ask.
I also have the matching lists (as stored in /var/lib/apt) both faulty 
and good.

Thanks,
Jan Evert
