Package: apt
Version: 0.6.46.3
Severity: important
Using my current /etc/apt/sources.list gets the error messages
<misc apt stuff>
Reading package lists... Error!
E: Wow, you exceeded the number of versions this APT is capable of.
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
Commenting out the "edgy" line or the "security" line (or probably
various others) removes the problem.
