That's enough to mark it as a duplicate. APT was vulnerable precisely to the corrupted translation files.
If you don't believe (and have enough time), look at the comments above.

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.
