[Bug 1328815] [NEW] ubuntu software center crashes when lauched, impossible to fiind the source package

[ferdinando]

Public bug reported:

There are several errors apparently related to source packages.
The message is:
'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/it.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_restricted_i18n_Translation-en, E:L'elenco dei pacchetti o il file di stato non può essere letto o aperto.'

In addition I cannot launch some application (e.g. dropbox).

I tried an apt-get through the terminal (as suggested by a permanent
message of error in the toolbar)  trying to verify unresolved
dependences among the packages, but it doesn't seem possible to verify
or to download any packages.

** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu)
