[Bug 1334549] Re: update-manager: An unresolvable problem occurred

[Roland Giesler]

This problem has repeatedly appeared on my machine (14.04) over the last
few weeks.

When it happens, I delete the file "/var/lib/apt/lists/za.archive.ubuntu
.com_ubuntu_dists_trusty-updates_universe_i18n_Translation-en", run
"apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" and it goes away.

However, a few days later, the same problem occurs.
