Of course!
What is the output of:
grep -v '^$\|^#\|^\s*\#' /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*}
Is this the first time you are running "apt-get update" on this machine.
Personally, I'd run as root
# rm /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*
then try running "apt-get update" again, and see if that fixes it.
It won't do any harm.
