You could be right. I have a cron job that runs overnight and does: /usr/bin/aptitude update 2>&1 > /dev/null sleep 5 /usr/bin/apt-file update 2>&1 > /dev/null sleep 5 /usr/bin/aptitude -d -y -f dist-upgrade 2>&1 > /dev/null sleep 5 /usr/bin/aptitude -s -y -f dist-upgrade 2>&1 | /usr/bin/Mail andy -s "Package status" sleep 5 /usr/bin/aptitude autoclean 2>&1 > /dev/null This is corrupting the files pretty much every night. However, if I run this script manually (after deleting the *.bin files) then it completes successfully (I assumed it was the apt-file that was doing it because I generally just run aptitude update when I do it manually).
