This problem has nothing to do with dselect or aptitude. The file
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.de.debian.org_debian_dists_sid_main_binary-amd64_Packages
(substitute your favourite debian mirror instead of ftp.de.debian.org) is
wrong, more specifically for some packages the "Filename:" field contains a
sintax error, e.g. Filename: pool/main/a/apcd
(0.6b.nr-2)/apcd_0.6b.nr-2+b1_amd64.deb
for apcd, Filename: pool/main/b/battery-stats
(0.3.3-1)/battery-stats_0.3.3-1+b1_amd64.deb
for battery-stats and so on for beep-media-player, beep-media-player-dev,
diald, k3d, k3d-dev, oss-preserve. Either these files contain an error on
the debian mirrors (for the amd64 architecture, the i386 one is ok), or apt
messes them up upon downloading them.
I just checked on ftp.de.debian.org, it appears that the Packages.bz2 in
debian/dists/sid/main/binary-amd64 and binary-m68k, and only them, contain
the above syntax error. I checked Packages.bz2 for all other architectures,
it is ok. I hope this will be useful to narrow down the search for the bug
causing this misbehaviour.
