I had a similar error after I inadvertly deleted the /var/state/apt/lists
directory. Afterrecreating it and creating /var/state/apt/lists/partial
everything went OK. If you have a lock file remove it and do
apt-get update to create the source lists.

Got my info from http://distro.conectiva.com.br/projetos/42/
