I'll settle for any fix on this. re-install. Format hard drive. Anything. I just want my lovely computer to work again!
I am having severe problems with update manager-
I get the message:
Could not initialise the package information
An unresolvable problem occurred while initialising the package information.
Please report this bug for the 'update-manager' package and try to include the following error message:
'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/gb.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_jaunty-updates_restricted_binary-i386_Packages, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'
Also, Synaptic gives the following message:
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/gb.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_jaunty-updates_restricted_binary-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
Report? Who to? I love Ubuntu being free, but I wish there was a customer service department I could call for things like this!
