I agree, strangely the system worked fine. I rebooted it in the evening 
after using it for half a day and apt worked fine again.

Apart from NIC errors (that have been there from the beginning) there is 
nothing logged about errors, no other applications have been misbehaving. 
So it seems very weird. But it resolved itself apparently after the 
reboot, maybe it was a kernel problem that only bothered apt. I have no 
clue :/

Kind regards,
