Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the response.
I found your reference is difficult for me as a new commer in ubuntu.
Can get any other easier direction?

Thanks again.

It seems you have the problem described in FAQ 1591

The following steps might help:

Open a terminal (e.g. by simultaneously pressing ctrl-alt-t) end execute this command:

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_raring-updates_universe_i18n_Translation-en

When you are asked for your password please enter it, but note that you will get any feedback on screen (no echo, not even '*' placeholders).
FAQ #1591: “'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList”.
