[Bug 1091705] [NEW] after internet disconnection during an update, updating stopped working

[Eurik]

Public bug reported:

This is the error it gives me:


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/cz.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise-
updates_main_binary-i386_Packages, E:The package lists or status file
could not be parsed or opened.'


What seems to have happened that after my internet connection crashed during an update, some file got corrupt and update manager stopped working, when I run it, list of updates does not show up, it just always munches for a while and then gives me this error message. Not sure how this can be fixed, but since the message says report it as a bug, that's what I'm doing...
