Reading package lists... Error!
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/samaritan.ucmerced.edu_ubuntu_dists_natty_multiver se_i18n_Translation-en
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

I deleted the files in the directory /var/lib/apt/lists/ as suggested in another thread and still got the above. Any ideas?

Can you try selecting a different mirror for your sources? Then run sudo apt-get update again.
Also, remove any third party repositories until you get this sorted out.

I have selected new sources twice. The hang ups appear to be in the translations files not being recognized as a bzip2 file and then dropping the whole process out no matter the source. Any ideas?
