    This can be caused by an accidental close of apt, synaptic or something like that, try this please: sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*

    This will remove all your package lists, and after that, you'll have to do sudo apt-get update to restore all lists.

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

    How about:

    Code:
    $ sudo -i
    
     # apt-get clean
     # cd /var/lib/apt
     # mv lists lists.old
     # mkdir -p lists/partial
     # apt-get clean
     # apt-get update
