Depends on how you look at it. Here is a plausible account of what might have happened . Apt-get update starts to update then runs out of Cache-Limit space which corrupts some files in the lists folder. Next time you run apt-get it goes bang with a core dump error. Clearing out the lists folder stops apt going bang but revels the Cache-Limit problem. It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem. I have to say since I made the above changes I have not had a problem. Nice to know you have take an interest. Regards Ray
