There is no bug anywhere. In the best case, this would be a feature
request. And we have a feature in planning involving a footer on the
cache and storing the cache size in the header. This way, we will know
if the cache is too small or if the last 4 bytes are corrupt. We cannot
check that the whole cache is correct, this is impossible. We could add
a checksum, but we have tested it and it is much too slow (could be
added as an apt-cache check option)
The new features may land in oneiric, but this is no promise. We have
hundreds of bug reported against APT, and this thing is one of the least
important ones I could imagine.
** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
