A while back, I noticed that aptitude and apt could no longer be used
together on my system: If aptitude had been used to update Packages and
Sources lists too, apt would not see the lists. (And vice versa.)
This happened because aptitude now formats port numbers in URLs with
thousands' grouping characters as defined by the locale (in this case
en_US.utf-8):
,----
| $ sudo aptitude update
| Hit http://localhost:9,999/debian sid InRelease
| Get: 1 http://localhost:9,999/debian stretch InRelease [232 kB]
| [...]
| $ sudo LANG=C aptitude update
| Get: 1 http://localhost:9999/debian sid InRelease [205 kB]
| Get: 2 http://localhost:9999/debian stretch InRelease [232 kB]

The extra comma also ended up as part of the filenames in
/var/lib/apt/lists, which explains the described behavior.
That is a very good and equally strange find!
It is libapt which deals with the download, URI creating and all that,
so we should really make it so that it doesn't do funny things like
local dependent formatting of port numbers ever.

Assuming that the new apt relase will happen in a reasonable time-frame,
I guess that it's better just to wait for that.
A new release of apt fixing this issue has just been released, and the
files are now created with "plain numbers".
So I think that this is fixed, closing.
Cheers.
