update-manager package

An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information

Asked by Thejus

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

E:Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_xenial-updates_multiverse_i18n_Translation-en - open (13: Permission denied), E:Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_xenial-updates_multiverse_binary-i386_Packages - open (13: Permission denied), E:Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_xenial-updates_multiverse_binary-amd64_Packages - open (13: Permission denied).

I wanted to update ubuntu but due to this error, I can't. There is a red round sign with a minus sign which I want to get rid of.
