[Bug 756317] Re: Captive portals may corrupt apt translation indices

[Julian Andres Klode]

I pushed a package for trusty with this fixed to

ppa:deity/sid

(currently building)

This is almost completely untested, it just re-enables verification for
all indices.

You can try it out and report back if this produces any error.

Title:
  Captive portals may corrupt apt translation indices

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “apt” package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  I have an adsl modem which returns an html page if the adsl link is
  broken. This page ends as the content of the apt cache files stored in
  /var/lib/apt/lists, which breaks apt.

  The only way to make apt work again is to delete all the files stored
  in /var/lib/apt/lists.
