[Bug 793586] Re: update-manager fails with E:Encountered a section with no Package: header'

[Adalberto]

Sorry, not a BUG: just checked the contents of the stated file, and foun it contained the HTML from my DSP, asking for registration upon fisrt access to my new DSL account!
So just deleted those files, and now update-manager works fine.
Sorry for the noise!

Title:
  update-manager fails with E:Encountered a section with no Package:
  header'

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  Upon launhing update-manager GUI, it fails with 'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/it.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_binary-i386_Packages, E:L'elenco dei pacchetti o il file di stato non può essere letto o aperto.'
  The last message is localised, so I'll translate it in english here: 'E:Package list or state file cannot be opened or read".
  This same message shows at the end of "apt-get update" downloading process.
  I've just updated to natty 11.04 via update-manager a few days ago.
