Package: apt
Version: 0.8.10.3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

When I issue the command 'sudo apt-get update'. The program breaks with the
following message:

benjamin@Extensa-4420:~$ sudo apt-get update
Failed to exec method /usr/lib/apt/methods/
Failed to exec method /usr/lib/apt/methods/
E: Method  has died unexpectedly!
E: Sub-process  returned an error code (100)
E: Method /usr/lib/apt/methods/ did not start correctly
E: Method  has died unexpectedly!
E: Sub-process  returned an error code (100)
E: Method /usr/lib/apt/methods/ did not start correctly

I am unable to update apt at all.

Replace volatile.debian.org with a regular mirror, there's no volatile
