[zgiltd]

Hello,

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my DELL Vostro1015 laptop.

I have a problem with my Ubuntu update manager as i cannot check or install
any updates.

As there is red mark alert/indicator on my desktop and also not able to
open the Ubuntu software center as it's getting crashed when clicking on it.

Following is the message i get when clicked on Ubuntu update manager or
Synaptic package manager;

" Could not initialize the package information

An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.

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

E: Unable to parse package file
/var/lib/apt/lists/in.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise-updates_universe_i18n_Translation-en
