If you have the canonical partner repository setup in your
/etc/apt/sources.list, you'll get this error. Don't know why, but if you
browse the URL you just posted, you'll see that the Contents-i386.gz
file does not exist.

This command should be run as root, as your unprivileged user doesn't
have the permissions to write to /var/cache/apt/apt-file

Unless you need the Canonical partner repository, I'd just take that out
of your sources.

HTH.
