As denoted in the merged bug downgrading to 0.9.7.2 helps for now.
Thanks for your reply. I tried your suggestion, but it fails with the same
error:
# apt-get install apt=0.9.7.2 libapt-pkg4.12=0.9.7.2
Reading package lists... Done
E: The package cache file is corrupted
You have to do download them manually - either the 0.9.7.2 or
the few minutes ago uploaded 0.9.7.4 (if it is built) and install
it manually with dpkg.
That said something like
apt-get update -o APT::Cache-Grow=0
apt-get install libapt-pkg4.12=0.9.7.2
(or: apt-get install libapt-pkg4.12=0.9.7.4 )
might work as well as it should prevent APT from using the
faulty code to write the package cache file (and corrupting it).
(I haven't tested this workaround through.)
I tried that, and couldn't get that to work either :-(
apt-get update -o APT::Cache-Grow=0

I also tried 0.9.7.4 and got the same 'not found' error.
Could you give me the URL, please, where I download the file manually?
Thanks for bearing with me.
