Trying to update my packages, but I keep getting the following error.
I think it may be something related to having missing dependencies, but not sure what to do about it.

suggestions welcome.

E: Problem parsing dependency Depends
E: Error occurred while processing btnx (NewVersion1)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/repoubuntusoftware.info_dists_harty_all_binary-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.


PROBLEM SOLVED
unticked repoubuntusoftware.hardy_all from my software sources, and problem solved.

Can also be done by editing sources.list
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
