mergelist in 11.04

Asked by 2canchu

This is a different problem with a different OS. This time it's 11.04. This is the error message I get E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_binary-amd64_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
I've tried many commands that are listed in launchpad but nothing has worked.

This seems to be popular today. Copy and paste these three commands in the terminal

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
sudo apt-get clean all
sudo apt-get update

Thanks wojox, that did it. That seemed simple enough-3 commands.
