[Bug 1184545] [NEW] update-manager package fails to initialise

[Diana Ratcliffe]

Public bug reported:

reported error as follows:


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/dl.google
.com_linux_earth_deb_dists_stable_main_binary-i386_Packages, E:The
package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'


I am unable to update any software (although in part because I don't
know any work-arounds)
