Package: apt Version: 0.5.5.1 Severity: important "apt-get update" ends with:
Reading Package Lists... Error! E: Encountered a section with no Package: header E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/_var_cache_apt-build_repository_dists_apt-build_main_binary-i386_Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. The file is one byte long, a newline: 0000000: 0a . If I make it zero bytes long (echo -n > file), then a subsequent "apt-get upgrade" works as opposed to failing with the same error message. I've been truncating the file as a workaround for quite a while now, but it is a bit annoying. A proper fix would certainly be appreciated!
