Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.1-1.1
Severity: minor

Every time I manually edit sources.list and run aptitude update,
I get errors like this:


W: Couldn't stat source package list http://mirrors.kernel.org
unstable/non-free Packages
(/var/lib/apt/lists/mirrors.kernel.org_debian_dists_unstable_non-free_binary-i386_Packages)
- stat (2 No such file or directory)
W: Couldn't stat source package list http://mirrors.kernel.org
unstable/non-free Packages
(/var/lib/apt/lists/mirrors.kernel.org_debian_dists_unstable_non-free_binary-i386_Packages)
- stat (2 No such file or directory)
W: You may want to update the package lists to correct these missing files
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems


For one thing, it suggests apt-get update directly.  For another, the lists
aren't missing; the files exist, and as far as I can tell aptitude can see
them, and running aptitude update a second time doesn't produce the error.

It's done this for as long as I can remember; I assumed it was an apt
problem, but it isn't.  If I use only apt-get update it does not manifest.
