Title:
  more robustnesss against broken Translation files

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  After recent updates to Karmic (I was away for a week), Update-
  manager, apt-get and Synaptic all crash when run:

  
  Could not initialise the package information

  An unresolvable problem occurred while initialising the package
  information.

  Please report this bug for the 'update-manager' package and try to
  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_karmic_main_i18n_Translation-en%5fGB, E:The package
  lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'
