Ubuntu

update-manager broken due to partial update

Asked by Simon D. Heaven on 2013-01-16

Had a power cut whilst upgrading version of Ubuntu. Now the update manager cannot initialise package information. Unable to upgrade, cancel upgrade, install/uninstall software. Please advise.

'E:Dynamic MMap ran out of room. Please increase the size of APT::Cache-Limit. Current value: 25165824. (man 5 apt.conf), E:Error occurred while processing xfonts-jmk (NewFileDesc2), E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/gb.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_lucid_universe_binary-i386_Packages, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'

Thanks.
