<font face="Courier 10 Pitch">Slight problem with the studio,<br>
<br>
Can't upgrade packages, can't update, can't use Synaptic, etc...
Whenever I try something with apt-get, the computer complains.
For example, apt-get check:<br>
<br>
<i>ben@studio60:~$ sudo apt-get check</i><i><br>
</i><i>[sudo] password for ben: </i><i><br>
</i><i>Reading package lists... Error!</i><i><br>
</i><i>E: Encountered a section with no Package: header</i><i><br>
</i><i>E: Problem with MergeList
/var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_quantal_main_i18n_Translation-en%5fUS</i><i><br>
</i><i>E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or
opened.<br>
</i><br>
Is this something wrong in the /var/ dir, or some config file? Or
is the Quantal server @ Ubuntu having problems?<br>
<br>
This seems to be something pretty deep, i.e. out of my scope of
"fix it". What do I do? I've been thinking that it's time to
reinstall with a clean 12.10 anyway due to some other issues, is
this just a good excuse to do so?<br>
<br>
Thanks Y'all,<br>
<br>
