Title:
  update manager crashes

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  Hi,

  When I attempt to run update manager or install a package through
  terminal, I get this error message (or a similar one when I'm in
  terminal):

  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:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with
  MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu
  .com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_binary-i386_Packages, E:The package lists
  or status file could not be parsed or opened.'

  Help?

  Thanks!
