I get this every so often too. I just rerun apt-get update. What seems to happen is that the last byte of the packages isn't being downloaded for some reason. Rerunning apt-get update grabs this final byte and everything works perfectly after this. I always put it down to the fact that we have to run through a webcache here (which quite often doesn't work as it should), but it could be down to the debian servers/mirrors or apt *shrug*. I've never looked into it as rerunning fixes it.
