Still have this problem, so I'm getting no updates, and can't run software centre.
apt-get install gives: Reading package lists... Error! E: Problem parsing dependency Depends E: Error occurred while processing libtemplateparser4 (NewVersion2) E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise-security_main_binary-i386_Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. Anything else I can try? Thanks!
