New error messages:

Tried to run package manager.  This is the error message text:

/var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_binary-amd64_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

When clicking on "check for updates," the app appears to look for
downloads, then displays the following:

E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList 
/var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_binary-amd64_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

Running apt-get in terminal yields this result:

Reading package lists... Error!

"Installed packages have unmet dependencies" is another hint given by a
mouse-over of the error icon.
