Title:
  apt-get dies with "E: Method http has died unexpectedly!"

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apt package in ALT Linux:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apt

  I'm using pbuilder on a tmpfs with apt-cacher-ng to cache the downloaded 
debs. It worked till now pretty good and fast. But since I'm have a pbuilder 
for karmic I see regularly "E: Method http has died unexpectedly!" during 
package download in my pbuilder. It almost always happen around package 22-24.
  Retrying the complete build results in the same error, so I've do it manually 
inside the pbuilder. There it also fails at first with the same error, but 
restarting the download moves beyond this point (I guess it's because it has 
the packages till there already downloaded). "apt-get install" just the package 
it fails on shows also no error.
  I've checked the logs of apt-cacher-ng but I don't see there any error 
messages. My observations may fool me but I got the impression  that it only 
happens when the first 20 packages are really small and already cached by 
apt-cacher-ng so it can deliver them pretty fast.
