====== Bus errorackage lists... 0% ======

This is currently the best fix I have found for the "Bus error" failures when using apt and/or aptitude.

Failure:
<file>
# apt-get update
...
Fetched 2,000B in 1s (1,168B/s)
Bus errorackage lists... 0%
</file>

How I fix it:
<file>
fuser -vvv /var/lib/dpkg/lock
rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
cp -arf /var/lib/dpkg /var/lib/dpkg.backup
cp /var/lib/dpkg/status-old /var/lib/dpkg/status
cp /var/lib/dpkg/available-old /var/lib/dpkg/available
rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/updates/*
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists
rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin
mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists
mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists/partial
