I inserted the content of the attached file into archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise-updates_restricted_i18n_Translation-en on Precise and the problem still exists:
Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com lucid/universe Translation-en_US Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com lucid/universe Translation-en Reading package lists... Error! E: Encountered a section with no Package: header E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise-updates_restricted_i18n_Translation-en E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. I don't think apt has an onboard method to clean files in the lists directory, they need to be removed manually based on the error above. ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/756317 Title: apt broken if cache files are invalid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/756317/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
