Update Manager closes after reporting the following under ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal
Could not initialize the package information An unresolvable problem occurred while initialising 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/au.archive.ubuntu .com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_binary-i386_Packages, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.' Had to copy and paste the above text from the alert dialog as closing the dialog also closes update-manager, preventing me from registering a bug direct from that application. The following alert also displays when using the shell to do a "sudo apt-get update" command: Reading package lists... Error! E: Encountered a section with no Package: header E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/au.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_binary-i386_Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. So the bug is pervasive and does not just impact on the update-manager GUI. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410131 Title: E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/gr.archive.ubuntu .com_ubuntu_dists_jaunty-backports_universe_binary-i386_Packages -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
