Hi and welcome to the forums Saqib Amin :)

If the suggestions by dino99 don't work, then try this:


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

thanks Rubi1200 ur code worked.
can you tell me what the first line mean and what it did?

[Rubi1200]

The first command removes corrupt package lists, the second command refreshes and updates it again.

Glad this worked for you :-)
