I just tried to do an aptitude update on my Debian squeeze server.
I get error message like ...

I tried deleting all the files in /var/lib/apt/lists/
and trying again, but it just repeated the message
After removing the files, did you try to "apt-get update" first?
I did, but it didn't help
Is this a glitch with the security.debian.org files today - or something
more serious.
After this message occurs, you can't do anything other than close
aptitude.
I tried Cancel Pending Actions (from the Actions menu) and got a
segfault in aptitude.
Anyone else seeing anything like this?
Not here but I'm using wheezy... Maybe a temporary issue, is it still
present? :-?
It cleared up yesterday evening when I tried again. Seems like some
temporary glitch
