I put together a ppa with fixes for precise for this issue.
Can someone who is experiencing this issue please test this ppa, and let
me know if it fixes the issue. Please report back so I can continue
with an SRU for this fix.

I have attached the debdiffs to curl and apt as well. Both are
required.
** Patch added: "curl debdiff"

Title:
If-Modfied-Since undhandled case causes apt lists corruption with
https repositories
Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in “curl” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
[Impact]
Users of apt repositories that use https will occasionally recieve an
error message and not be able to update properly:
W: Size of file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/archive.example
.com_dists_precise_main_binary-amd64_Packages is not what the server
reported 0 25118
This should be backported to Ubuntu precise because some companies may
be delivering their internal apt repositories over SSL for security.
[Test Case]
Install apt-transport-https and setup an apt repository delivered over
https. Do some updates and eventually the above error will happen.
[Regression Potential]
I've patched the Ubuntu precise version of apt and found no issues.
[Other Info]
This was reported to Debian first and is fixed in Debian unstable:
http://bugs.debian.org/705648
The maintainers of apt in Ubuntu have not yet synced this to saucy.
