[Bug 817227] Re: Could not initialize the package information

[Dale Maris]

This got me to a different errot similar to the first error, but for a 
different file.

E:Encountered a section with no Package: header,
E:Problem with 
MergeList/var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_i18n_Translation-en%5fUS
E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

I will remove this file and try again.

Thanks for you support and help.
