** Description changed: Binary package hint: update-manager Hi I am running 9.04 Jaunty and installed some updates and applications on my system. I tried installing Amarok from the terminal and was told I have "unmet dependencies"....I did not attempt the installation again. Everything looked fine until I restarted my machine, and now I get this message whenever I start the update manager: "Could not initialize the package information An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information. Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_jaunty- security_multiverse_binary-i386_Packages, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'" Not, installation from the terminal, synaptic, update manager and even local *.deb files all fail with either of these error messages: "E: Encountered a section with no Package: header E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_jaunty-security_multiverse_binary-i386_Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. E: _cache->open() failed, please report." OR "Software index is broken. This is a major failure of your software management system. Please check for broken packages with synaptic, check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information with: 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f'." + I then go into to inspect the file /var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_jaunty-security_multiverse_binary-i386_Packages and noticed its has been replaced with an HTML file! This HTML file contains the homepage of the HotSpot provider I last used!!! + Please, can anyone help me out? Regards Maleeq
