[Bug 370829] Re: update Manager: Error Opening Cache

2009-05-05 Thread Maleeq
Hi, 
As requested, I have attached the file.

$ sudo apt-get update 
runs and then fails with the error:

E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList 
/var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_jaunty-security_multiverse_binary-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.


Regards.

Maleeq

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: update-manager
  
  Hi
  
  I am running 9.04 Jaunty and installed some updates and applications on
  my system. I tried installing Amarok from the terminal and was told I
  have unmet dependenciesI did not attempt the installation again.
  Everything looked fine until I restarted my machine, and now I get this
  message whenever I start the update manager:
  
  Could not initialize the package information
  
  An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package
  information.
  
  Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include
  the following error message:
  
  'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with
  MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_jaunty-
  security_multiverse_binary-i386_Packages, E:The package lists or status
  file could not be parsed or opened.'
  
  Not, installation from the terminal, synaptic, update manager and even
  local *.deb files all fail with either of these error messages:
  
  E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
  E: Problem with MergeList 
/var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_jaunty-security_multiverse_binary-i386_Packages
  E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
  E: _cache-open() failed, please report.
  
  
  OR
  
  
  Software index is broken.
  This is a major failure of your software management system. Please check for 
broken packages with synaptic, check the file permissions and correctness of 
the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information with: 
'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f'.
  
  
+ I then go into to inspect the file 
/var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_jaunty-security_multiverse_binary-i386_Packages
 and noticed its has been replaced with an HTML file! This HTML file contains 
the homepage of the HotSpot provider I last used!!!
+ 
  Please, can anyone help me out?
  
  Regards
  
  Maleeq
