Title:
  ubuntu software center crashes when lauched, impossible to fiind the
  source package

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

Bug description:
  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.
