apt sometimes fails with 'getline (12: Cannot allocate memory)'
Hello!
We have been observing an issue on alpha for since the beginning of September where an
"apt-get update" in sbuild would fails with 'getline (12: Cannot allocate memory)' [1]:

After that, the resolver is unable to find any packages and hence install the build dependencies
which results the build to fail. This issue occurs just sometimes and so far has only been observed
on alpha.
Does anyone have a clue what could be the problem?
Thanks,
Adrian
