I open a possible duplicate bug #1343205, and it was marked as a
duplicate by Monsta, but...

The symptoms of this in my case are different.

1. It's always the same file that is corrupted.  /var/lib/apt/lists/za.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_trusty-updates_main_i18n_Translation-en
2. This happens on multiple machines running 14.04 and earlier on different internet connections.
3. I have actually run tests and the link does not drop to cause this, it happens while the internet connection is stable.

Is this the same issue or not?

Title:
  Captive portals may corrupt apt translation indices

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
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.
