The recent security update make it easy to trigger debian bug #710924 - i.e. apt does not deal well with 416 requests from the remote server.

TEST CASE:
1 install latest apt from security
2 run sudo apt-get update
3 run sudo apt-get update again and ctrl somewhere in the middle
4 run sudo apt-get update again
5 verify that you get either 404 or 416 errors

6 install the updated version from prospoed
7 verify that sudo apt-get update works now
8 verify that steps 2-4 do not lead to a failure
