An error ocurred, please run Package Manager

Asked by Jan Vecer

An error ocurred, please run Package Manager from the right click menu or apt-get in the terminal to see what is wrong. The error message was: 'Error: Opening the cache (E: Encountered a section with no Package: header, E: Problem with MergeList/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_trusty-security_main_i18n_Translation-en, E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.)'. This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies.

I am getting the above error message. The Software Updater crashes.

Best,
JV
