Whenever I open "Synaptic Package manger", it always pops up this eroor massage:

E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/tw.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_bina ry-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

Could anyone possibly help me with the trouble, THX^^

What happens when you run sudo apt-get update from the command line?

Open a terminal ctrl/alt/t
and copy and paste these one at a time:


sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
sudo apt-get clean all
sudo apt-get update
