This exact same error occurred for me. It occurs each time I attempt to
open synaptic package manager. When I run

sudo apt-get update

I get this error

Reading package lists... Error!
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList 
/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_jaunty_partner_binary-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

this guy here got the same thing

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7587999

but apparently resolved it by himself and left only very vague
instructions

I am running Linux Mint 7 (9.04 base) 32bit

Please tell me if you need any more information or if you need any
terminal commands run.
