[Bug 972993] Re: Could not initialize the package information

[Leith Caldwell]

Sorry, didn't add extra information.

Release of Ubuntu: 11.10

apt-cache policy pkgname gives:
E: Problem parsing dependency Suggests
E: Error occurred while processing libreoffice-l10n-pa-in (NewVersion2)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/nz.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_oneiric-updates_main_binary-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

I was just expecting updates to run as per usual, but package manager
won't run at all now.

There are no files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/.
