Title:
  package manager error, cant update system

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  This is what I get when trying to update Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

  'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with
  MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise-
  security_universe_i18n_Translation-en, E:The package lists or status

  What I expected to happen is my system to upgrade as ussually, instead
  I see red  sign in the tool bar on top of my screen.
