[Bug 767034] Re: update-manager hangs on update; error message follows

No. I tried to install Natty, and wound up having problems, so now I'm 
using Fedora 15, which is working nicely.

Title:
  update-manager hangs on update; error message follows

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On running update manager, system hung; I was told by system to
  include the following message:

  E: Problem parsing dependency Depends
  E: Error occurred while processing sgt-puzzles (NewVersion2)
  E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
  E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

  Ubuntu Maverick; I tried to get the version, but running apt-cache
  policy for both "update-manager" and "apt-get" resulted in
  segmentation fault; upon further direction, I will happily run this
  again and report back.

  Update manager, package manager, and software center will not now run.
