Thanks for looking into this. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be anything wrong now. When I was trying to track down this bug, I noticed that one of my repos was giving a 404 error, so I commented that repo out. Additionally, since I'd copied my sources.list from the old machine to the new one, some of the keys weren't installed. So, when I was troubleshooting this, I installed the keys, so that aptitude updated without any errors. Yet, after several updates, I was still experiencing the problem. That's when I reported this bug. Several days later, I noticed that update-manager had stopped complaining, and that /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp had been touched.
One other thing that might or might not be relevant: I use apt-cacher on my network to save bandwidth. I don't know if it can cause these types of problems or not. Here's the output you requested, which appears to be correct, now: ~:$ sudo apt-get update Get:1 http://192.168.1.50 main Release.gpg [189B] Ign http://192.168.1.50 main/editors Translation-en_US Ign
