Title:
  update-manager failes if you do not download the latest kernal

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

Bug description:
  Hi,

  Basically I updated everything except for all of the new kernal
  related packages as they appeared to break my Nvidia drivers. However
  they all appeared to work except now it broken the updates:

  
  Could not initialize the package information

  A unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package
  information.

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

  'E:Malformed 3rd word in the Status line, E:Error occurred while
  processing xserver-xorg-input-wacom (UsePackage2), E:Problem with
  MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status, E:The package lists or status file
  could not be parsed or opened.'
