Bug Description
I was trying to upgrade from 08.10 to 09.04 using upgrade manager, and got this error message:
An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.
Please report this bug against the "update - manager" package and include the following error message:
'E:Problem parsing dependency Replaces: E:Error occurred while processing perl-modules (NewVersion1), E:Error with MergeList /var/lib/
I now cannot open upgrade manager, as it will bring up this error message. When I press "close" on the dialog box that has the above mention, upgrade manager closes.
When I try to open the Synaptic Package manager, I get this error message:
An error occurred
The following details are provided:
E: Problem parsing dependency Replaces
E: Error occurred while processing perl-modules (NewVersion1)
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.
When I press the close button on the dialog box, the Synatpic Package manager closes.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Is this bug reproducible with the latest Lucid packages ?
Thanks in advance.
