Given this error in the journal - looks like just a bad daily build - or a corruption when downloading the latest packages from the server at that point in time.

"apt_pkg.Error: E:Malformed Description-md5 line; doesn't have the required length (32 != 33) '"ca238eb2552ee38e0c998bdc7044b606', E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /target/var/lib/apt/lists/gb.archive.hostname.com_ubuntu_dists_zesty_universe_i18n_Translation-en, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened."

Indeed... can you try again and see if the issue has gone away?
