Ok, I could solve the problem.
Anyway the solution and the cause of the bug are still mysterious to
me...
Here is what I did:
1) cp /var/lib/apt /var/lib/apt_org [backup]
2) rm /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.* [remove the lists]
Now "apt-get update" works perfectly.
I thought there was a corruption in the ftp.* files, but this was not
the case because after the update I checked with a diff:
diff -r /var/lib/apt_org /var/lib/apt
and nothing was printed, I checked also with kdiff3 and all files are
binary equal.
Why this happened? Probably there is bug in apt which can cause it to
write bad data which cannot be recovered by himself.
By the way, anyone knows why the diff showed no difference before and
after?
