An aptitude update & upgrade was in progress when this error occurred. Oeneiric Ocelot was last uipdated a day or two ago so it is very current.

I'm the culprit. :(

It was a mistake in v. 0.48, but a fix in 0.49 has been uploaded already. It would be great if somebody could confirm that it's working now.
