Try to delete these files (make a backup of them first):

/var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin
/var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin

I remember reading that apt can crash if those files became corrupted somehow.

A backup is not needed; these files are pure caches and do not contain
anything that couldn't be recreated by apt-get.
