This error message is new in 1.2.6 introduced with #816837 – and not supposed to be reachable. :) (Just to be clear the problem exists for longer, just the message is new) As I run out of reasons for whats going on and I can't reproduce it, while you seem to be able to do so I would suggests to capture the entire output of the update as one line doesn't tell a story about what happened to the other pdiff files. If it is the output of a run with some debug flags even better: -o Debug::pkgAcquire::Worker=1 -o Debug::Acquire::http=1 (That is a lot of output, so "2>&1 | tee" is suggested). Keep a backup ("cp -a" as modification times are important) of your /var/lib/apt/lists before you do this in case this isn't always reproducible (if you get the "wrong" mirror for example).
