I fixed this error by typing the following command into a terminal:
sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
sudo apt-get update
I got the fix from http://www.askubuntu.com/questions/30072

Title:
update manager not working
Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Unfortunately I am unable to to get update manager to work. When I
load it up, bar fulls up half then this message:
Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with
MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise-
security_main_i18n_Translation-en, E:The package lists or status file
could not be parsed or opened.
Possibly why I always receive a message that ubuntu has a problem and
I should report it and then never can...
Not terribly experienced with ubuntu so any help appreciated. Cheers.
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
