ext2, plain vanilla 2.4.18. Sorry. :)

I'm strongly inclined to believe this was a hardware problem or some
other glitch. After I rebooted, everything worked fine; the Sources and
Packages in /var/lib/apt are exactly as before, but the caches in
/var/cache/apt are now different. This looks much too irregular to be a
software problem, in my point of view. Solar flares, maybe? :)
You can go ahead and close the bug. Sorry for the interruption.
