This has happened at least twice.
I run some normal aptitude command and I get several screens of errors.
The same command will work fine on second turn.
Code: Select all

Package: gv

Description: PostScript and PDF viewer for X
gv is a comfortable viewer of PostScript and PDF files for the X Window System. It uses the ghostscript PostScript interpreter and is based on the
classic X front-end for gs, ghostview, which it has replaced now.

I edited the error message and deleted more than 136500 lines with "E: Unable to seek to X"
The logs (aptitude, dpkg and apt show nothing after my last install).
Google was no help also.
What is this, or how can I further research the issue?
Thanks!
