Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
Here is a copy-paste of the pop-up error message when using ubuntu's
graphical update-manager:
Impossible d'initialiser les données sur les paquets
Un problème insoluble est survenu pendant l'initialisation des
informations du paquet.
Veuillez signaler ce bogue du paquet « update-manager » en y joignant le
message d'erreur suivant :
'E:Impossible de verrouiller /var/lib/apt/lists/ca.archive.ubuntu
.com_ubuntu_dists_intrepid-updates_main_binary-amd64_Packages - open (13
Permission non accordée), E:Problem opening
/var/lib/apt/lists/ca.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_intrepid-
updates_main_binary-amd64_Packages, E:Les listes de paquets ou le
fichier « status » ne peuvent être analysés ou lus.'
I do not think my source.list is the problem, because it has been
working for several weeks. I have included it in attachment anyways just
to be sure.
I am running a french version Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 for x86-64
~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10
~$ sudo !!
sudo apt-cache policy update-manager
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList
/var/lib/apt/lists/ca.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_intrepid-updates_main_binary-amd64_Packages
NB: errors also occur when using command line tools apt-get update
Here is the ouput from apt-get update:
Lecture des listes de paquets... Erreur !
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList
/var/lib/apt/lists/ca.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_intrepid-updates_main_binary-amd64_Packages
