Ubuntu
apt package

After installing googleTalkPlugin 64bit I can not open update manager, software manager, ...( to Install or remove any progrme )

Asked by Hossein Baghayi

The error that I have got and it says to report it:
'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/dl.google.com_linux_talkplugin_deb_dists_stable_main_i18n_Translation-en, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'

I am using ubuntu 11.04 and have been installled all updated before installing this programe,

The programe is GoogleTalkPlugin 64 bit that after I have installed it I can not install or remove any other program,
I can not use update manager (it gives error), or software manager center, or synapic package manager and all of it gives me error

I wanted to user (alt+f2) and with command ubuntu-bug ... but it gives me error too,

I do not know what to do,

I have solved this problem yesterday by removing every file name with googletalkplugin from above paths and now I do not get any more errors,

But it must not happen, because it should be a but, If it was not it had to happen in previous version of ubuntu too, but it did not,

Thank you

Ok, I did everyone of these suggestions and nothing worked. BUT... I found out there's a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ called dropbox.list (dropbox was my messed up list). I deleted it (and just about every other instance of a file with dropbox in the title) and it worked.
