Package: libapt-pkg4.12
Version: 0.9.9.1
Severity: normal
The command apt-get/aptitude update doesn’t fetch the list of available
packeges anymore after updating to libapt-pkg4.12 (version 0.9.9.1). With
version 0.9.8.2 everthing works fine.

Thanks for sending me the data I had asked for!
The problem here is that you have a lot of cruft in your sources.list(s):
Some of the domains aren't online anymore (these are the errors of the form:
"Verbindung mit example.org:ftp nicht möglich:") and some others are still
online, but not in the form as they were than you added them – one is e.g. a
domain parking side now returning for any request the same file, which APT
isn't expecting and recently learned to identify and complain about
(rather than mess-up its internal storage which would need manual cleanup),
and this complain is the error you see at the end:
E: GPG-Fehler: http://example.org sid InRelease: Clearsigned file
isn't valid, got 'NODATA' (does the network require authentication?)
(I have again replaced the actual domain with example.org as I don't want
to generate links to a domain parking site – it would just help their shady
business model)
You should really check if
a) all the sources you have configured actually still exist and
b) contain what you actually want/need
If they fail this test, remove them.
If third-party repositories remain you should check if they provide keys
which you can import into APT to ensure that you really get what you asked
for and what these repositories provide and not what a bad guy might want
to trick you into installing (this will "fix" the remaining "W: GPG-Fehler"
and also APT asking you at package install time if you want to allow the
installation of unauthentificated sources will be gone).
The general take-home advice is: You should never ignore errors and
warnings as they are (usually) not shown for their entertainment value. ;)
As this isn't a bug (but a feature™) I will close this bugreport now.
If you have further question I would like to suggest asking them on a
debian-user mailinglist (available in many languages) as those have a
bigger audience than the buglist of APT.
Best regards
