Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
at first i couldn't install anything from terminal, then tried to do some upgrade to see if it's needed, but it always ended like this. also when i opened update manager folder, it told me to write a bug report with this sentence:
E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/
being unable to do the installation i really need is annoying. but i couldn't seem to do anything else since the sentence above always came out. please, give me advise on this problem. i am using natty narwhal at the moment, btw.
thank you.
Thanks for your report.
Could you please attach the file /var/lib/ apt/lists/ id.archive. ubuntu. com_ubuntu_ dists_natty_ main_binary- i386_Package ?
Thanks in advance.
