But the reason for this Bug seems to be the same:

apt get files with HTTP without check them in any kind - try to use them
and fails - and stops working without manual assistance

The solution can be maybe simple:

- use https or
- check type of content or
- download not just the file but also file with e.g. hash to check integrity or
- ...

That would simply solve such situation like mine: redirected HTTP (e.g.
in WiFi networks with some "login" process, ...).

BTW - I do not know for what these files are, but: could not this issue
be also security problem ? If apt download and use them with blind trust
?
