I'm staggered this bug has been open nearly FOUR YEARS and is STILL not
fixed!!!

Yes, it's hit me too (several times). Here's my solution:

1: Delete the contents of /var/lib/apt/lists/partial.

2: Ensure file /etc/apt/sources.list only points to
"http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/";, not, as Jonathan Harker points out
above, sources such as "http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/";

3: Run the command sudo apt-get update -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=true

4: Run the command sudo apt-get update

I honestly don't know if all the above steps are necessary. Doing them
individually made no difference, but doing them one after the other
(finally) worked for me.
