Package: security.debian.org
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
security.debian.org is currently unusable (for amd64 squeeze)
apt-get update aborts with:
Reading package lists... Error!
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/security.debian
.org_dists_squeeze_updates_main_binary-amd64_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
When viewing the Packages-file, it contains several blocks consisting only of
the line "None", example:

All of them are after packages with "Source: postgresql-8.4", so maybe that is
somehow broken?
(=> CC to postgresql-...@packages.debian.org)
However a single (source-)package should not be able to break Packages-
generation IMO, especially not for security.d.o

Hi.
This was caused by generating the Packages indices at the same time
another process was trying to install a package into the archive.
We have now placed locks around these commands so this should hopefully
not happen again. (ftp-master was already doing so, but there were no
locks on security-master so far.)
The relevant commit in dak is ebec9bc1c451491b8558e6012680e7d37c0bc595
Regards,
Ansgar
