... is what I get when trying to run apt-get update. I've tried what Wousser suggested above, but no luck. This is what happens when I open Update-Manager: 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:Problem parsing dependency Suggests, E:Error occurred while processing openoffice.org (NewVersion1), E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/gb.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_gutsy_main_binary- i386_Packages, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.' In an attempt to avoid duplicate big reporting, i've posted here, but if this is seperate to the above problems, could someone let me know, and i'll make a new report. -- Update manager fails - the package lists or status file could not be parsed opened https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/115087 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
