Unless my logic is askew, this means that the problem is not the file size or 
type, nor the repository, nor any problem with the integrity 
or "downloadability" (TM!) of the files. AFAICT, that only leaves apt-get 
itself as the culprit. Would this be correct?

But what could be wrong with apt-get such that it fails to deal with two 
particular list files only?

Maybe I should purge and reinstall apt, but is this possible? Seems risky! 
(I've already tried apt-get install --reinstall and dpkg-reconfigure.)

Just a thought - have you tried using the 'aptitude' command instead of 
'apt-get'?

   # aptitude update

Another thought - it might be worth checking that there is enough free 
space on the partition.
