But haven't had such a case for one or two years now. Back then it usually sufficed to also remove the according file in /var/lib/apt/lists/ or, in the worst case, to empty /var/lib/apt/lists/ completely. Since things like package list downloads are not done by aptitude itself but by calling functions from libapt-*, I'm reassigning this to apt.
