After that it seems the Packages.gz became broken, because:

While previously archive contained ~22k packages.

$ apt-show-versions
Error: No information about packages! (Maybe no deb entries?)

And nothing appeared.


Fortunately, after setting up the internet connection it seems that
'aptitude update' downloaded Packages.gz and previous errors
disappeared, but it was really bad.
