Got the same error today when it told me that file us.archive.ubuntu .com_ubuntu_dists_maverick_universe_binary-i386_Packages us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_maverick_universe_binary- i386_Packages is corrupt.
Removing the cache and redownloading package info resolved the problem. -- update-apt-xapian-index crashed with SystemError in open() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/261523 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
