[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

There can be an exception from apt  at several times. Unfortunately APT
only shows a translated error message and no codes. Often it is unclear
what the user should do.

Furthermore there can be a broken system, e.g. delted
/var/lib/dpkg/updates #791715 or failing to open TagSection

E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with
MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/br.archive.ubuntu
.com_ubuntu_dists_maverick_universe_binary-i386_Packages, E:The package
lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

E:Write error - write (28: No space left on device), E:Can't mmap an
empty file, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or
opened.

E: The package google-chrome-stable needs to be reinstalled, but I can't
find an archive for it.

E:Type 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/pdfmod-team/ppa/ubuntu' is not known on
line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pdfmod-team-ppa-
maverick.list

SystemError: E:The package index files are corrupted. No Filename: field
for package ubufox.
