Thanks for reporting this bug. It actually sounds to me like you have a transient network error. You should be able to load http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/Release in a browser and find the string universe/binary-amd64/Packages there. The fact that you say it only sometimes fails also points to a transient network error.
