Title:
  Encountered a section with no Package: header, impossible to update
  sytem

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I was told in the error I get to report this bug, so here goes :

  'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with
  MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/fr.archive.ubuntu
  .com_ubuntu_dists_precise_main_binary-amd64_Packages, E:Les listes de
  paquets ou le fichier « status » ne peuvent être analysés ou lus.'

  (last part in English : The package lists or status file could not be
  parsed or opened)

  As I was using for a week a wifi hotspot, I think this guy made a good point :

  Apparently there is an easy fix, haven't try it yet but this bug seems
  to occur with "normal" use of Ubuntu, I fear it may happened to less
  terminal-used people...

  
  My apologies, this error prevent me to tell you this package's version ! But I can tell for sure that the whole system was up to date by the first of September.
