Kindly help me with this error.

E:Read error - read (0: Success), E:Problem closing the gzip file /var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_oneiric-security_universe_i18n_Translation-en - close (0: Success), E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

While updating my Ubuntu 11.10 i am getting this error and it says "This is a serious problem. Try again later. If this problem appears again, please report an error to the developers."
