after upgrade and internet loss i can not update, really need help with this

[[e-mail]]

upgraded to natty 11.04 and all was fine until my internet went down for a few days and now i can not update and everytime i do i get this message Could not initialise the package information

An unresolvable problem occurred while initialising the package information.

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

'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/gb.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty-updates_main_i18n_Translation-en, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'

i have tried to sort it out by following all the tips and advice on the linux ubuntu wiki but all have failed to resolve the problem, can anyone help, please, many thanks mandy.

would also like to point out that i have had to report it this way as my system will not recognize the problem or the area it is in.
