This bug no longer happens in unstable; but your config shows that you
use testing. Please install perl/apt from unstable and see if the
problem goes away or not.
To be more precise, I could track this bug down to libapt-pkg-perl;
sent a reproduce _small_ perl script to the apt maintainer guys, but it
seems they never got it (master.d.o mail problems?). Anyway, the script
is attached, please test it before you upgrade apt/perl, and after you
upgrade either/both.
AFAICR, the bug happened in /usr/lib/perl5/AptPkg/Source.pm line 36:
while (my %m = $self->_xs->Find(@_)) { push @r, \%m } .
