Ubuntu
update-manager package

E: Lists directory /var/lib/apt/lists/partial is missing. Unable to fix broken packages.

Asked by Steve DiModugno

When I enter synaptic, I won't allow me to fix my broken packages. My update manager now tells me to try running a partial update but I get this message:

"An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

 This can be caused by:
 * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
 * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
 * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu

This is most likely a transient problem, please try again later."

If I try to skip the upgrade it gives me this message:

"It is impossible to install or remove any software. Please use the package manager "Synaptic" or run "sudo apt-get install -f" in a terminal to fix this issue at first."

and when I run that in Terminal it reads as follows:

"doops@doops:~$ sudo apt-get install -f
