This is still a bug. As Juanca noted, using -S does not solve the issue.
I was trying to build the debian-installer, and the make always failed
because of this exact issue. When I changed the -S to -f, apt-get
started working again. I have reopened the bug as 'confirmed'.
** Changed in: aptdaemon (Ubuntu)
Status: Fix Released => Confirmed
