[Bug 880668] Re: Could not initialize the package information

[Alessandro Menti]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better.

If you are trying to update Ubuntu (e.g. from 11.04 to 11.10), could you
please try again, choosing to download the most recent updates from the
Internet when prompted (if you are upgrading from a CD)?

If it still does not work, could you please add the file
'/etc/apt/sources.list' and the log files from '/var/log/dist-upgrade/'
to this bug report as separate attachments and state the version of
Ubuntu you are upgrading from and the one you are upgrading to?

Thanks in advance.
