Package: apt
Version: 0.5.5
Severity: normal
Hi,
I just installed apt-build, it creates a local repository on my machine
and adds it to the sources.list.
After running apt get update it reports:
Reading Package Lists... Error!
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/_var_cache_apt-build_repository_dists_apt-build_main_binary-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
zsh: 21219 exit 100 apt-get update
I think this is a bug because it should not fail but just ignore empty Packages files.
But thanks a lot for you work, anyway!
- Alexander
