Debian 5 update system broken
Hello.
I am running Debian 5 on this computer (have been so far unable to
instal Debian 6 on anything).
With an update notification (the gold star with the exclamation mark,
in the taskbar), I got the following error.
"
Could not initialize the package information
A 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.debian.org_dists_lenny_updates_main_binary-i386_Packages,
E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'
