Binary package hint: adept-updater
Pertinent data printed when attempting to run Updater as follows:
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:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_intrepid_universe_binary-amd64_Packages, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'
Ubuntu 8.10
Need workaround to permit updating - usual apt-get commands (clean, update) haven't worked; message as follows:
Reading package lists... Error!
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_intrepid_universe_binary-amd64_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. |
Binary package hint: adept-updater
Pertinent data printed when attempting to run Updater as follows:
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:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_intrepid_universe_binary-amd64_Packages, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'
WORKAROUND:
Remove problematic files from /var/lib/apt/lists/ and rerun apt-get update.
In the event that one is connected to a network with a proxy server that returns html pages (like a web page requesting you to login) and not package list files. Those html files will get downloaded to /var/lib/apt/lists/ and prevent someone from using a package manager until the problem html pages are removed.
TEST CASE:
1) Ensure /etc/apt/sources.list points to archive.ubuntu.com
2) Setup proxy server to block access to archive.ubuntu.com and return something like http://people.canonical.com/~brian/tmp/not-packages.html
3) Execute 'sudo apt-get update' in a terminal
4) Observe the following:
'E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_binary-amd64_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'
5) Try 'apt-cache policy apt' and be sad that it doesn't work
With the proposed package installed repeat steps 1 to 3.
4) Observe the following:
''Get:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com oneiric InRelease [189 B]
Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com oneiric InRelease
E: GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com oneiric InRelease: The following signatures were invalid: NODATA 1 NODATA 2'
5) Try 'apt-cache policy apt' and be happy that it works |

Binary package hint: adept-updater
Pertinent data printed when attempting to run Updater as follows:
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:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_intrepid_universe_binary-amd64_Packages, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'
WORKAROUND:
Remove problematic files from /var/lib/apt/lists/ and rerun apt-get update.
In the event that one is connected to a network with a proxy server that returns html pages (like a web page requesting you to login) and not package list files. Those html files will get downloaded to /var/lib/apt/lists/ and prevent someone from using a package manager until the problem html pages are removed.
TEST CASE:
1) Ensure /etc/apt/sources.list points to archive.ubuntu.com
2) Setup proxy server to block access to archive.ubuntu.com and return something like http://people.canonical.com/~brian/tmp/not-packages.html
3) Execute 'sudo apt-get update' in a terminal
4) Observe the following:
'E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_binary-amd64_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'
5) Try 'apt-cache policy apt' and be sad that it doesn't work
6) run 'sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*Packages' to clear the error.
With the proposed package installed repeat steps 1 to 3.
4) Observe the following:
''Get:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com oneiric InRelease [189 B]
Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com oneiric InRelease
E: GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com oneiric InRelease: The following signatures were invalid: NODATA 1 NODATA 2'
5) Try 'apt-cache policy apt' and be happy that it works |

W: GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com precise Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>

Install apt from -proposed
1) run dummy-proxy (python dummy-proxy) on a precise system (this simulates a proxy that is not allowing access to archive.ubuntu.com and gives you garbarge html instead)
2) Execute 'http://localhost:8080 sudo apt-get update' in a terminal
3) Observe the following error messages in your terminal:

W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/Release

4) Stop dummy-proxy

6) Observe the update succeed |
