[Bug 1311922] Re: Encountered a section with no package: header, in lubuntu 14.04 lts

[Quinn Balazs]

Remove your current mergelist with "sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf"
and then generate a new one with "sudo apt-get update". If you're still
having this issue after regenerating the lists, set the status here back
to new and attach the output of "grep -v '#' /etc/apt/sources.list".

** Package changed: ubuntu => apt (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
