'E: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.'

Hi and welcome to the forums :-)

Open a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T and run the following commands (best just to copy and paste to avoid errors):


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

The first command removes any corrupted package lists, the second one updates them.
