I checked this at both versions, saucy & precise. It might be correct,
but maybe not. But to me it seems to be something wrong with the folder
structure, or where in it the program are looking.

Ind the sources-manager I can find the row  "file:/var/cache/apt-
build/repository". (Is mentioned before.)

I looked in the folder manually. ther i found this

-----ls output-------
dists [folder]
gthumb_3.0.2-0ubuntu3+aptbuild1_amd64.deb
gthumb-data_3.0.2-0ubuntu3+aptbuild1_all.deb
gthumb-dbg_3.0.2-0ubuntu3+aptbuild1_amd64.deb
gthumb-dev_3.0.2-0ubuntu3+aptbuild1_amd64.deb
Packages.gz
Release
----------------------

But the error message was complaining about this folder "/var/cache/apt-
build/repository/dists/apt-build/main/binary-i386/Packages"

And that's correct! THAT folder doesn't exist. The real structyre goes
like this at my amd-64 machine. (The folder structure seems to be
looped, linked back to a parent folder.)

/var/cache/apt-build/repository/dists/apt-build/main/binary-amd64/dists
/apt-build/...

In his new light I have to conclude that the error message itself is
correct. The bug is that it is looking in the wrong folder. There is
nothing there to find. The update programs is not to blame anymore.

SOLUTIONS

I can se some different solutions. But im not a developer so some of
them might be useless, or create new problems elsewere. My suggests is:

1) Configure apt-build to always put the files in the same folder, and link to 
that one in sources.list. (Easy fix?)
2) Configure apt-build to always update sources.list with the right path. 
(Better fix?)
