Bug#432913: Solved, but whithout clear explanation

[agarberisoft@aim.com]

Ok, I could solve the problem.
Anyway the solution and the cause of the bug are still mysterious to 
me...

Here is what I did:
1) cp /var/lib/apt /var/lib/apt_org [backup]
2) rm /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.* [remove the lists]

Now "apt-get update" works perfectly.
I thought there was a corruption in the ftp.* files, but this was not 
the case because after the update I checked with a diff:
diff -r /var/lib/apt_org /var/lib/apt
and nothing was printed, I checked also with kdiff3 and all files are 
binary equal.

Why this happened? Probably there is bug in apt which can cause it to 
write bad data which cannot be recovered by himself.

By the way, anyone knows why the diff showed no difference before and 
after?
