Comment 4 for bug 349355

I get a similar problem as A.K.Karthikeyan on Ubuntu 10.10:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Could not initialize the package information

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:Unable to parse package file /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_maverick-updates_main_binary-amd64_Packages (1), E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

update-manager worked fine a few weeks ago.
