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

-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?
