Problem is related to package apt-xapian-index. When I downloaded same
package but from Debian repo and install it, after clearing /var/cache
/apt-xapian-index and /var/lib/apt/lists/ I started update-apt-xapian-
index again and everything pass ok. It looks like this problem is solved
in Debian Jessie.
