Hi,
Middle of doing an ordinary weekly package update, my Acer Aspire One (ZG5) netbook went into some kind of power save mode and refused to come back. On re-boot the file system was corrupt, so I recovered it using e2fschk and logged in satisfactory.
When I tried to run Synaptic Package Manager, I come up with:
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/au.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_karmic-updates_multiverse_binary-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
So I click the close button and SPM closes.
I've tried to run ubuntu-bug to report the problem, but if I enter ubuntu-bug Synaptic Package Manager in a Run Application window, nothing seems to happen. If I run System Monitor to find the PID, I cannot see either Synaptic or System Manager there.
So how do I report this? I would love to try to if I can.
Also how can I reinstall SPM using the command line too?
Thanks,
Rob. :-)
