Try opening up a terminal and entering<br>
sudo apt-get update<br>
Does it fix it ? <br>
If not try moving /renaming the file that is mentioned in the error
report (the /var/lib/apt/lists/ one) and executing <br>
sudo apt-get update<br>
again. <br>
This should fix it. <br>
<br>
Basically the list locally stored informing which apps are available
on the repo is corrupted for some reason. <br>
<br>
Hope that helps :)<br>
