Ok I give up. I've just tried to reproduce this box with qemu. What I did: 1) downloaded the package list two times by setting archive.debian.net (2006/11/01) in my sources list. The first time will download two files, the second attempt will create the pdiff 2) changed the sources list again by increasing the date for archive.debian.net by 14 days 3) renamed the resulting files in /var/lib/apt/lists to match the new url 4) backed the files up 5) tried an update with aptitude, resulting in downloading many pdiffs for deb, deb-src, main, contrib and n-f 6) when aptitude did not crash I restored the old files from /var/lib/apt/lists and repeated steps 5 and 6
This is what I've done for the last 4 hours and I was not able to reproduce this bug a single time. So what should we do next? Since I seem to be the only one who noticed this bug and since I'm not able to reproduce it anymore you might want to close it. This would be ok for me -- In this case I'd just reopen it if it ever hits me again.
