Package: apt
Version: 0.6.43.3
Severity: critical

apt-get update produces "Bad header line" messages on some files. Note that
this error is not reproduceable always (and happens for different files
although Release.gpg is often among them), sometimes the update runs
successfully, I've also tried 
apt-get -o Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth=0 update
suggested in an earlier bug-report for apt but this did not work.
I'm running apache 1.3.33-6sarge1 on a debian server for my local debian
mirror.

Output of apt-get:

Given that it hasn't reappeared in 7 years (at least according to this
bugreport) and recent versions of apt have probably changed at least a
bit in this time I am closing this bug as "unreproducible & expired".
