I just installed the 11.04 beta 1 on a sony vaio CW. It seemed to install correctly but when i clicked on the update manager or synaptics package manager or use apt-get in terminal i get this error:

Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_i18n _Translation-en
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

Any help is appreciated...
Thanks,
Kamlesh

How can you delete the system files? O.o

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*

It will complain about removing a "partial" directory,just ignore it.Then run
sudo apt-get update to reload the index files.

Good Luck
