I've also just tried doing rpm --rebuilddb, no change.

A question:

Do these files look too small?  

root@canarsie:/var/cache/apt # ls -ltr
total 148
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Sep 29 10:49 gensrclist
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Sep 29 10:49 genpkglist
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root         4096 Oct  8 19:59 archives
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        49863 Oct  9 15:25 srcpkgcache.bin
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       158131 Oct  9 15:25 pkgcache.bin


I ran strings on them, and it doesn't look like I see a complete listing
of either my system's installed RPMs, or the rpms in the lists:

root@canarsie:/var/state/apt/lists # ls -s
total 9988
 416 apt.freshrpms.net_redhat_8.0_en_i386_base_pkglist.freshrpms
8704 apt.freshrpms.net_redhat_8.0_en_i386_base_pkglist.os
   0 apt.freshrpms.net_redhat_8.0_en_i386_base_pkglist.updates
   4 apt.freshrpms.net_redhat_8.0_en_i386_base_release.freshrpms
   4 apt.freshrpms.net_redhat_8.0_en_i386_base_release.os
   4 apt.freshrpms.net_redhat_8.0_en_i386_base_release.updates
  64 apt.freshrpms.net_redhat_8.0_en_i386_base_srclist.freshrpms
 788 apt.freshrpms.net_redhat_8.0_en_i386_base_srclist.os
   0 apt.freshrpms.net_redhat_8.0_en_i386_base_srclist.updates
   0 lock
   4 partial


If I kill them, they get recreated about the same size next time I run
apt-get..
