Package: apt
Version: 0.5.28.6
Severity: important

I have the following line in sources.list:

deb http://debian.madduck.net ~madduck/packages/internal/

This causes

  http://debian.madduck.net/~madduck/packages/internal/Release
  http://debian.madduck.net/~madduck/packages/internal/Packages
  
to be downloaded. These are created with apt-ftparchive and look
okay to me. However, after the APT update, I get the following
error:

Reading Package Lists... Error!
E: Unable to parse package file /var/lib/apt/lists/debian.madduck.net_%7emadduck_packages_sponsor_Release (1)
E: Problem opening /var/lib/apt/lists/debian.madduck.net_%7emadduck_packages_internal_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

The weird thing is that it's reporting a failure to parse the
*package* file when reading Release.

What's going on? Is this a bug, or my fault?

I don't have the time or setup to verify, but since we no longer
have 0.5... closing... done.
