Package: apt Version: 0.6.43.3 Severity: critical apt-get update produces "Bad header line" messages on some files. Note that this error is not reproduceable always (and happens for different files although Release.gpg is often among them), sometimes the update runs successfully, I've also tried apt-get -o Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth=0 update suggested in an earlier bug-report for apt but this did not work. I'm running apache 1.3.33-6sarge1 on a debian server for my local debian mirror.
