could not initialise the package information

Asked by tktom

I cannot use update manager, I get this error message: An unresolvable problem occurred while initialising the package information.

Please report this bug for the 'update-manager' package and try to include the following error message:

'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/packages.medibuntu.org_dists_precise_non-free_binary-i386_Packages, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'
On another site I was told to send you this info:
