[Bug 798023] Re: apt-get update fails with error 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable

[ptoche]

I guess I must have been experiencing a similar problem.

However, I removed all the lists, not just the partial lists, they were
rebuild automatically by muon after "check for updates", and no restart
needed as mentioned above:

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

Note that the following was of no help whatsoever:
sudo apt-get purge muon
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get install muon
