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.
