Public bug reported:

This thing had just broken my apt lists (and muon not starting). I found three 
extra lines with 
"Swipe your finger across the fingerprint reader"
in the generated /var/lib/apt/lists/some_repo_Packages

Here is the command I executed:-

sudo dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null | gzip -9c > "Packages.gz"

although i can fix this specific issue with 
sudo dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null | grep -vE "^Swipe your finger" | gzip -9c > 
"Packages.gz"

but I am not sure what it will break in future.

I will try to see if I can suggest some code fixes but have been away
from C for a few years.

Thanks
