Hi Everyone,
To start, I have Ubuntu 12.10 x64.
So I have googled this problem many times, and I honestly don't think there is a solution to this. Anyways, I got this error:
"An error occurred, Please run Package Manager from the right-click menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong. The error message was:
'Error: Opening the cache (E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, Eroblem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_quantal_main_i1 8n_Translation-en, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.)'. This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies
So I can't click the Package Manager (actually, I'm not sure what right-click menu means and if Package Manager is the same as Software Center). When I do click on the Package Manager, it opens for a second and then closes and normally shows me a 'Send Error' box. When I click update through the error icon (white minus sign on red background at the top near the date), software updater fails.
I have tried many of the terminal commands, with no success. Actually, as far as I can tell is anything using "apt-get" won't work properly.
Here I did "sudo apt-get update" and this is what I got

Reading package lists... Error!
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_quantal_main_i18n_Translation-en
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
Then after I did this, I got a message that Ubuntu 12.10 has had an internal error.
So yea, I hope I provided enough info. to get a headstart on this. Sorry if I'm too literal with the description...I'm still fairly new to all of this.
Thanks for any help!
