Public bug reported: Binary package hint: update-manager
An unresolvable problem occurred while initialising the package information. Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/gb.archive.ubuntu .com_ubuntu_dists_gutsy_universe_binary-i386_Packages, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.' I have tried the following but it made no difference: $ sudo rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin $ sudo apt-get update or: $ sudo dpkg --configure -a $ sudo apt-get install -f $ sudo apt-get update Do you want the results of /var/lib/dpkg/status. It is very large? There is nothing in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ Robin ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Could not initialise the package information https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/211392 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
