I am not sure whether the previous is a good thing, but the error did
not appear again; I was able to preform a simple apt-get update without
any errors.

My advice to you is to simply reboot, and do the exact thing you did to
get the error then report back. I am sure someone will know what and how
to deal with the bug.
