Update-Manager crashed when running apt-get update

[stoi2m1]

Binary package hint: update-manager

This is the Error message I got

Could not initialize the package information

A unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.

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

'E:Dynamic MMap ran out of room, E:Error occurred while processing libvorbisenc2 (NewVersion1), E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_hardy-updates_main_binary-i386_Packages, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'

Thanks for your bugreport.

Could you please attach your /etc/apt/sources.list file? and let me know what version of ubuntu you use?

[stoi2m1 (stoi2m1)]

I am running Ubuntu 8.04 - the Hardy Heron

this is the entire contents of my sources.list file:
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy universe multiverse main
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy universe
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates universe multiverse main
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates universe

Just wanted to know if this is really a bug or is it an issue with my sources.list file.

Can I get a little feedback?

Thanks,
Jesse

Thanks for your reply.

If this is all the content from sources.list, that is a bit odd. Is there anything in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ that contains additional sources?

[stoi2m1 (stoi2m1)]

There is nothing in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ it is an empty directory.

Just trying to see if I can get some feedback on this. Is this a bug or is it an issue with my sources? I would really like to resolve this soon, I havent been able to install anything on my box for almost a month now.

Thanks,
Jesse

So I am finding this issue may be more of a problem with my sources file then actually a bug, but I have yet to find a sources file that doesnt give me some sort of an error.

I have tried to use different source.list files with different repositories in it and each time it fails processing some program.

Is this a bug, should I be in a support forum rather then here in the bug reports?

Thank You,
Jesse

First I used a sources.list file from another installation of the same version ubuntu.

This did not resolve my issue.

Second I found I did not have a /etc/apt/apt.conf file

So I created a file by going to terminal and typeing.
sudo gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf
and add this line:

APT::Cache-Limit 20971520;

I went with a big size just to make sure size wasn't an issue.

I just installed SVN so I know everything is working.

Thanks for what little you did share, it forced me to look a little deeper at my issue.
