Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Ubuntu 9.10 after earlier successful updates --------------------------------------------------------- When update manager is run now the foll message appears: 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/in.archive.ubuntu .com_ubuntu_dists_karmic_main_binary-i386_Packages, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.' ------------------------------------------------------- The above problem was preceded by update manager repeatedly failing to upgrade to kernel 2.6.31-20 after it was downloaded (with error message): E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic_2.6.31-20.58_i386.deb: short read in buffer_copy (backend dpkg-deb during `./lib/modules/2.6.31-20-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/zoran/zr36067.ko') E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-headers-2.6.31-20_2.6.31-20.58_all.deb: short read in buffer_copy (backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.31-20/arch/s390/include/asm/hugetlb.h') ---------------------------------------------------------- System is working but boot problems occur requiring use of recovery mode under 2.6.31-20. I had earlier reported a bug under synaptic. So both problems are there simultaneously. Ubuntu 9.10 live CD was run to check for disk errors. No disk errors were reported.
