Deleting these files in /var/lib/apt/lists/:

ftp.ch.debian.org_debian_dists_wheezy_contrib_i18n_Translation-en
ftp.ch.debian.org_debian_dists_wheezy_main_i18n_Index
ftp.ch.debian.org_debian_dists_wheezy_main_i18n_Translation-en
ftp.ch.debian.org_debian_dists_wheezy_non-free_i18n_Translation-en


solved this problem.

Perhaps a problem with the mirror. Try another mirror server, or try again in 48 hours. If it worked yesterday there is nothing which makes your own configuration suspect.
