I've not looked at them till I got this problem. :-) I've been using apt-src update and then apt-src install to get package sources happily till very recently. > > Does either apt-src update or apt-get update give you an error message > explaining why this Sources list would be empty? No, apt-src update produces the same error message but no error (message) from apt-get update. > > Right now, this doesn't really look to me like an apt-src bug. > I really can't tell. I'm not well-versed in the internal working of the apt-* stuff. Are the _opt_deb-repo_binary_Packages and _opt_repo_source_Sources files generated locally or downloaded from the mirrors? I saw them both dated 2006-05-10 21:23. A wild guess would be the recent changes in sending package information (lots of .IndexDiff files in /var/lib/apt/lists) is causing the problem?
