I did as suggested in the previous comment. Specifically, I opened an
instance of terminal and did the following:
1.) sudo rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists/*
2.) sudo apt-get update
However, I got the following error messages in Terminal:
-------------------------
W: GPG error: http://archive.canonical.com precise InRelease: File
/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_InRelease
doesn't start with a clearsigned message
W: Failed to fetch
gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_partner_source_Sources
Encountered a section with no Package: header
W: Failed to fetch
http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/partner/i18n/Index No
Hash entry in Release file
/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_partner_i18n_Index
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones
used instead.
------------------------
When I run the update-manager from the top bar, I get the following popup:
------------------------
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/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_partner_binary-amd64_Packages,
E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'
