Public bug reported:

The error message that popped up was:

"Could not initialize the package information

An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package
information."

The it explicitly asked me to include the following error message:

'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with
MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/se.archive.ubuntu
.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_multiverse_i18n_Translation-en, E:The package
lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'

More info:
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> 
About Ubuntu:        Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or 
by checking in Software Center: 
When runnign this command in a terminal I get:
"E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList 
/var/lib/apt/lists/se.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_multiverse_i18n_Translation-en
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened."

3) What you expected to happen: I was not intending to run the update
manager, it just does regularly, but lately it has had this problem. All
other functions on the computer seem to be working without problem.

4) What happened instead: I am not sure when was the last update my
computer managed to complete... but otherwise this generates no problem
for me.
