I just tried what was suggested to me, and then looked around the system
further in hopes of finding something that might help, but had no luck. When
I tried dpkg --update-avail /dists/stable/main/binary-i386/Packages,
everything went fine, apparently, with the only message I received being

That doesn't seem like to me like what I want to do, but it could be.
