Title:
  'update-manager reports errors after hard power-off with fsck
  corrected errors"

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Package: update-manager

  Error message:

  (QUOTE)

  Could not initialize the package information

  An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package
  information.

  Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and
  include the following error message:

  'E:Problem parsing dependency Conflicts, E:Error occurred while
  processing openjdk-6-jre (NewVersion1), E:Problem with MergeList
  /var/lib/apt/lists/vn.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_lucid-
  updates_universe_binary-i386_Packages, E:The package lists or status
  file could not be parsed or opened.'

  (END QUOTE)

  After a power-outage Ubuntu failed to load. I had to use fsck to force
  rewrite in one block after a short-read error was detected from live-
  cd. Ubuntu then started normally, but update manager is now broken,
  reporting the above error.
