Pass.
OK. So this file: /var/lib/apt/lists/_public_debian_debian_dists_sid_main_i18n_Translation-en is missing! Deceptive filesystem ... :) So the real question is why is that file missing. And that I'll probably never know. ... testing now.. OK, re-mounting my local repo, and apt-get update gives the following line, obvious in hindsight: W: Failed to fetch bzip2:/public/debian/debian/dists/sid/main/i18n/Translation-en.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch So it appears that I could have done my last debmirror update in a way which didn't quite match time/procedure/whatever withe respect to iiNets mirror updating, or perhaps just that file had a random problem. I have "--md5sums" enabled in debmirror, but perhaps that only checks the _existing_ files, and does not MD5sum check the downloaded files, or perhaps my HDD is failing - so many possibilities...
