Title:
update-manager crashes at start-up
Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
First, I'm using Ubuntu 12.04
and I'm not able to get the version of the package, if I try:
mspuhler at mspuhler-laptop:~$ sudo apt-cache policy update-manager
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/extras.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_main_binary-amd64_Packages
E: Die Paketliste oder die Statusdatei konnte nicht eingelesen oder geöffnet werden.
The Update-Tool crashes and says:
"E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with
MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/extras.ubuntu
.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_main_binary-amd64_Packages, E:Die Paketliste
oder die Statusdatei konnte nicht eingelesen oder geöffnet werden."
I know the last part is in german, but because of this bug I cannot
change the language of my Ubuntu. Also I cannot report a bug
automatically, because it says that the package-name was incorrect.
Checked the box "security vulnerability", because I cannot update my computer, so I have not the ability to be protected with the newest updates. If it's wrong please change it.
Thanks
