Title:
   'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with
  MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/extras.ubuntu
  .com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_i18n_Translation-en, E:The package lists
  or status file could not be parsed or opened.'

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  When I launch the update Manager, I've got the following message :

  An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing 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/extras.ubuntu
  .com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_i18n_Translation-en, E:The package lists
  or status file could not be parsed or opened.'

  Whiwh means I can't launch any update.

  I am using Natty.

  An other thing that might help :
