Title:
   An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package
  information

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  "This is a serious problem. Try again later. If this problem appears
  again, please report an error to the developers.

  Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and
  include the following error message:

  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
  file could not be parsed or opened."

  This started about a week ago, is consistent, really bogs performance.
  Everything seems to work, very slow and erratic 

  12.04 LTS

  I can not check for updates "Could not initialize the package
  information"
