Impossible d'initialiser les données sur les paquets

Un problème irrémédiable est survenu durant l'initialisation des informations du paquet.

Veuillez signaler ce bogue du paquet « update-manager » en y joignant le message d'erreur suivant :

'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/extras.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_main_i18n_Translation-en, E:Les listes de paquets ou le fichier « status » ne peuvent être analysés ou lus.'

Pas de E: identifiable.

Logitheque ubuntu refuse aussi de charger (je voulais tenter de charger aptitude qui semble absent) quitté de façon inattendue

Synaptic donne un message identique :

Thanks for quick response.

     first command did not work, as shown below but second is under action.

ygb is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
ygb@guillon-EeeX101:~$ su guillon-admin
Mot de passe :
guillon-admin@guillon-EeeX101:/home/ygb$ sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*

This actually succeeded in allowing new updates

About initial causes, I have only some uncertain reminds :

 1. last update strangely jumped from 3.2.0-72 to 3.2.0-74
 2. previous update was aimed to 3.2.0-73 but was not achieved, probably
    because my HD was too crowded, I suppressed some of the proposed
    updates from the list in an attept to update. Later i deleted some
    data during the intermediate week (or more).
