Fix for me:
a) delete /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00ia32-archive
b) Editing the mangle-line in /usr/bin/apt-get to read (including some more
lines in the file):
# Mangle foreign files
for F in $LISTDIR/foreign/lists/*_*; do
DIR="$(dirname "$F")"
case "$F" in
*_Packages)
FRONT="$(front 3 "$F")"
MIDDLE="$(middle 3 "$F")"
[ ! -s $F ] || /usr/lib/ia32-libs-tools/mangle --index < "$F" >
"$LISTDIR/lists/${FRONT}-i386_${MIDDLE}_binary-amd64_Packages"
;;
Remarks:
* The file /usr/lib/ia32-archive/bin/apt-update doesn't make sense at all in a
normal Ubuntu installation (including the hard-coded reference to Debian source
packages and the complete rebuilding of source packages!).
* The above line in apt-get is necessary because `deb
http://ddebs.ubuntu.com jaunty main restricted universe multiverse` in
`sources.list` leads to empty files. Another solution might be to remove
the corresponding lines in `/etc/apt/foreign/sources.list`. I haven't
check that.
* I still get errors regarding non-existing files:
o...@hermes:/var/lib/apt/foreign/lists$ sudo apt-get update | grep "apt-get"
apt-get: update
/usr/bin/apt-get: 102: cannot open

* What I don't really understand is the fact, that nobody seems to care
about this serious bug.
Any comments welcome.
