Synaptic error

hey everyone! hope someone can help me with this!
every time i open synaptic i get this error:
E: Unable to parse package file /var/lib/apt/extended_states (1)
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

after closing the error message, synaptic just closes itself.
when i try apt-get upgrade i get a similiar error, just in terminal output.
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Error!
E: Unable to parse package file /var/lib/apt/extended_states (1)
