[COLUG] apt-cacher error

I'm using Ubuntu 6.06 and have installed apt-cacher. I added an
additional repository which now seems defunct. I've since deleted that
repository, by commenting it out in /etc/apt/sources.list but I'm still
getting a cron error every day:

===============
/etc/cron.daily/apt-cacher:

zcat: /var/cache/apt-cacher/temp/free.linux.hp.com_~brett_seveas_freenx_dists_dapper-saveas_freenx_binary-i386_Packages.gz: unexpected end of file
Error processing
free.linux.hp.com_~brett_seveas_freenx_dists_dapper-saveas_freenx_binary-i386_Packages.gz in /var/cache/apt-cacher/packages, cleanup stopped.
Remove the file if the repository is no longer interesting and the
packages pulled from it are to be removed.
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/apt-cacher exited with return code 1
==============


I've tried deleting the file as it suggests, but something seems to be
recreating it as a 0-byte file.


Thanks in advance,
Mark
