Package: apt-cacher
Version: 1.6.12ubuntu1
Severity: important
"apt-get update" returns "Bad header line". This problem also happens when
using "aptitude update" and "aptitude install" although "apt-get install" works
fine.
Instrumenting the source code of apt-get: methods/http.cc as follows:

and running apt-get as follows:

, I got the following error message that I cut after the first error to keep
this report succinct:

apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.
Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!

Doing "apt-get update" without using apt-cacher does not have this problem.
I can help debug this if you tell me in which part of apt-cacher I should look
into (i.e., I need to see the architecture of apt-cacher).
Thanks.
