Open a terminal

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal#In_Unity

And enter these commands one at a time. Do not enter anything in ( ).

sudo -i
(this command makes you a superuser)

apt-get clean
(cleans out a cache)

cd /var/lib/apt
(go back one directory)

mv lists lists.old
(rename folder)

mkdir -p lists/partial
(create a folder)

apt-get clean
( as above)

apt-get update
(updates your system)

That should fix it and welcome to the forum. :D

Fantastic almost a year on to the day and you've solved my problem wonderfully. I'll bookmark this page for another day. ;)
