Bug: 🐛 If network issues prevent successful update of existing repo manifests they are left empty.

I've had the same error, and I think I share the same cause @miljanuscumlic mentioned - I had a transient loss of web connection, and then deb-get started producing this error. Deleting the file restored expected behaviour.

This is unrelated to permission issues or inappropriate use of sudo. It is caused by the output of the fetch being the .repo rather than a temporary file with conditional rename on success.

Thanks @yermulnik, @miljanuscumlic and @JohnPettigrew.
