Public bug reported: I booted up my machine after 3 months and it refuses to perform software updates using Muon or with apt-get from cmdline.
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/linux.ntuoss.org_ubuntu_dists_precise-updates_restricted_binary-amd64_Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. I ran apt-get clean and apt-get update then replicted the same from cmdline with apt-get dist-upgrade Linux owl 3.2.0-24-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 21 16:52:17 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Ubuntu 12.0.4 Why did this this happen on its own? did something break in the last update? Last update in dpgk.log.1 was on 29/05/2012 and no errors are logged in it. I am unable to run ubuntu-bug because the same problem prevents i from running to completion successfully.
