Thanks for the response.
Tried this, though unfortunately still no joy... Exact error message when running sudo apt-get update is:
Code:
Reading package lists... Error!
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/gb.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_restricted_binary-amd64_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
Essentially this happened when the file was corrupted (contained the proxy web page html), when the file was missing (I deleted it) and with an empty file.
I've tried installing a VM with a fresh install of Ubuntu to get a copy of that file.. though it was empty, so I guess this way will require me to install a similar set of apps/etc to get a working file... which isn't very practical.
Any other suggestions? surely I should be able to rebuild this list somehow?
