An unresolvable problem occurred while initialising the package information.

Please report this bug for the 'update-manager' package and try to
include the following error message:

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


I think this should contain the information about the package identity. Ubuntu release is 12.04 LTS.

Expected to run update manager but it gave a "no entry" signed window
and the instructions and information pasted above.
