There are backups of it (by default 7) in /var/backups/apt.extended_states*, the most recent of which is apt.extended_states.0 (uncompressed), the others .1.gz and so on are gzipped. Since the thing seems to have been broken while writing to extended_state chances are good that the newest backup, .0, is a good substitute for the current file. Good luck and... take backups :) Cheers - -- tomás -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAloEQroACgkQBcgs9XrR2kYx/ACeLhyp4SC9tPPpR6Dlpm4XJq+p Cs4An1BDBoSMewG2SK+b7tAgjNTQU3JV =AQbz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
