Public bug reported:

1)
Description:    Ubuntu Bionic Beaver (development branch)
Release:        18.04

2)
apt:
  Installed: 1.6.10
  Candidate: 1.6.10
  Version table:
 *** 1.6.10 100
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3)
I would expect a helpful error message, saying there's not enough disk space, 
or maybe even pointing at the /tmp partition.

4)
My /tmp partition was full, when I tried `apt-get update`. It failed with the 
following errors:

The hint at unsigned repositories is misleading and it took quite some
time to figure out the real problem. Therefore, I would expect an error
message pointing at the real culprit, which in this case was missing
disk space.

After removing files from /tmp, apt-get update succeeds as expected:
