see https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+faq/1591

Open a terminal (ctrl-alt-t) end execute these three commands:

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists/partial

In most cases executing these commands solves the problem, and updating the system works again.

If it does not, please execute the steps as described in
