When updating lenny this morning (yes, upgrading is on my todo list), I got the following error:
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/security.debian.org_dists_lenny_updates_main_binary-i386_Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. E: Couldn't rebuild package cache Looking on the mailing list, it appears to be a problem with squeeze as well. I tried clearing the files in /var/lib/apt/lists. I still got a zero-sized Packages file: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 92374 Dec 3 09:43 security.debian.org_dists_lenny_updates_Release -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 836 Dec 3 09:43 security.debian.org_dists_lenny_updates_Release.gpg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 3 09:37 security.debian.org_dists_lenny_updates_contrib_binary-i386_Packages -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 3 09:37 security.debian.org_dists_lenny_updates_contrib_source_Sources -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1870959 Dec 3 09:37 security.debian.org_dists_lenny_updates_main_binary-i386_Packages -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 480423 Dec 3 09:36 security.debian.org_dists_lenny_updates_main_source_Sources -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 3 09:37 security.debian.org_dists_lenny_updates_non-free_binary-i386_Packages -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 3 09:37 security.debian.org_dists_lenny_updates_non-free_source_Sources Is there an ETA on when these files will be fixed? -- Bill Wohler <woh...@newt.com> aka <bill.woh...@nasa.gov> http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
