[Bug 1076378] [NEW] Problem with MergeList

[Jonas Schwabe]

Public bug reported:

I have a warning icon next to my me-menu since today, telling me to report a 
bug against update-manager.
I think this is an apt bug, but I am just following the instructions on screen 
and add apt afterwards.

I will translate the error message to english:

--
A critical error occured while initializing the packageinformation.
Please report a bug against »update-manager« and attach the following error 
message:
E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList 
/var/lib/apt/lists/de.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_quantal-updates_main_i18n_Translation-en,
 E:The file could not be opened or parsed correctly.

original message:

I would like to provide more information (using apport) but I get an
error, stating that the problem cannot be submitted. I will attach the
file which is part of the error message. I could not find another log
file which shows any information about the problem (even /var/log/apt
does not contain any interesting files) :/

** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu)
