The error message explains what the problem is and how you can fix it.

See https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+question/10190

The value you set for APT::Cache-Limit should be significantly above
it's currently value (25165824).  Try double that initially and double
again if you get the same problem.

Title:
  E:Dynamic MMap ran out of room

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  (I don't speak computer techno-speak, so please explain as you would
  to your grandmother.  Thanks!)

  This message pops up whenever I try to run Update Manager:

  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:Dynamic MMap ran out of room. Please increase the size of APT
  ::Cache-Limit. Current value: 25165824. (man 5 apt.conf), E:Error
  occurred while processing linux-image-2.6.32-36-virtual (NewVersion1),
  E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu
  .com_ubuntu_dists_lucid-updates_main_binary-i386_Packages, E:The
  package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'

  I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS-- Lucid Lynx.  I have tried to upgrade to
  10.10, but haven't gotten anywhere.  Do I need to upgrade or should I
  stick with 10.4?
