I open a possible duplicate bug #1343205, and it was marked as a duplicate by Monsta, but...
The symptoms of this in my case are different. 1. It's always the same file that is corrupted. /var/lib/apt/lists/za.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_trusty-updates_main_i18n_Translation-en 2. This happens on multiple machines running 14.04 and earlier on different internet connections. 3. I have actually run tests and the link does not drop to cause this, it happens while the internet connection is stable. Is this the same issue or not? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/756317 Title: Captive portals may corrupt apt translation indices Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “apt” package in Debian: New Bug description: I have an adsl modem which returns an html page if the adsl link is broken. This page ends as the content of the apt cache files stored in /var/lib/apt/lists, which breaks apt. The only way to make apt work again is to delete all the files stored in /var/lib/apt/lists.
