Bug Description
I am sorry for this repetitive posting.
The full error message that I encountered when using an Update Manager is as follows:
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
Is this problem associated with the Ubuntu server or version compilation on my part?
Can anyone guide me how to resolve this error? Thanks.
