Title:
  12.04 - update manager issue

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

Bug description:
  
  Hi all,

  I have an issue with the update manager (on 12.04).
  It used to work correctly until a couple of days ago. 

  When trying to launch it, it returns a message beginning by :
  "Could not initialise the package information"
  then the main contain is :
  "
  E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/extras.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_main_binary-i386_Packages, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
  "

  In a separate message, that pops up from time to time (and might be related), it says there is an issue with :
  "/usr/sbin/update-apt-xapian-index"

  Thanks for any help !
