fails on automatic update

Thanks for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

The error messages claim that the package file is corrupt. Can you please try to clean the cache and re-try the upgrade? Clean the cache with

apt-cache clean

and then re-try the update with

apt-get dist-upgrade

Hi Serge

I would but "apt-cache clean" is reported as not valid, and I cannot see a
command that it would be ...

dave@ubuntu:~$ apt-cache
apt 0.7.25.3ubuntu9.3 for i386 compiled on Sep 9 2010 22:22:00
Usage: apt-cache [options] command
       apt-cache [options] add file1 [file2 ...]
       apt-cache [options] showpkg pkg1 [pkg2 ...]
       apt-cache [options] showsrc pkg1 [pkg2 ...]

apt-cache is a low-level tool used to manipulate APT's binary
cache files, and query information from them

Commands:
   add - Add a package file to the source cache
   gencaches - Build both the package and source cache
   showpkg - Show some general information for a single package
   showsrc - Show source records
   stats - Show some basic statistics
   dump - Show the entire file in a terse form
   dumpavail - Print an available file to stdout
   unmet - Show unmet dependencies
   search - Search the package list for a regex pattern
   show - Show a readable record for the package
   depends - Show raw dependency information for a package
   rdepends - Show reverse dependency information for a package
   pkgnames - List the names of all packages in the system
   dotty - Generate package graphs for GraphViz
   xvcg - Generate package graphs for xvcg
   policy - Show policy settings

Options:
  -h This help text.
  -p=? The package cache.
  -s=? The source cache.
  -q Disable progress indicator.
  -i Show only important deps for the unmet command.
  -c=? Read this configuration file
  -o=? Set an arbitrary configuration option, eg -o dir::cache=/tmp
See the apt-cache(8) and apt.conf(5) manual pages for more information.

Looked this one up and realised this should have been

sudo apt-get clean

Which worked ..

Easy mistake to make, but thanks for your help anyway, as it pointed me in
the right direction.

This can be closed as fixed now
