Public bug reported: 1) Description: Ubuntu 19.04 Release: 19.04 2) unknown (see below) 3) Even when a package list from one source is invalid, I can still apt-get install and apt-get update packages from other sources, as long as they don't depend on packages in the bad list. 4) I can't install a package from *any* source, even the ones that still yield valid package lists.
On Xubuntu 19.04, I have the following in my sources.list: deb https://adoptopenjdk.jfrog.io/adoptopenjdk/deb/ disco main deb-src https://adoptopenjdk.jfrog.io/adoptopenjdk/deb/ disco main Currently those sources yield invalid package lists. However, installation of a package fails even when it comes from *another* source. $ sudo apt-get install stress Reading package lists... Error! E: Encountered a section with no Package: header E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/adoptopenjdk.jfrog.io_adoptopenjdk_deb_dists_disco_main_binary-amd64_Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. Shouldn't this affect only packages that come from the faulty package list or depend on ones that do? I get the same error when running $ apt-cache policy apt-get so I can't determine what version of apt-get I'm encountering this bug in. ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1849253 Title: apt-get install fails when UNRELATED package list is invalid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1849253/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
