Sorry, my mistake referring to "/var/apt/lists" earlier, the correct 
place is actually  "/var/lib/apt/lists" and it is "rm -f 
/var/apt/lists/* I used to delete the maybe corrupt lists (they do get 
regenerated)

I noticed also files in /var/apt/lists/partial (I deleteted them too) if 
that's of any relevance

Now, apt-get update is successful on both the Wheezy and Squeeze 
installs, no more errors. Whatever you did, thanks Tim.
