I don't really know what happened, after reboot I got many crash messages, and if I would open Firefox or Synaptic, they would crash. Synaptic returns this:
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_raring-security_main_i18n_Translation-en
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
Then crash icon on the top panel appeared, and there was some error about mergelist. I googled, and found this sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
sudo apt-get update
That didn't work. To be able to work in browser I deleted all files in /var/lib/apt/lists
. If I try sudo apt-get update
, I get this:

I do not want to reinstall the system. How could I fix that? Thanks.
Some photos there. I can't make screenshots, it crashes: Photo 1 Photo 2
/var/lib/apt/lists
? Or did you leave thepartial
subdirectory (including contents) there? Those files in there seem to be corrupted. The command you showed does not do that.sudo apt-get update
it will reappear.partial
as well. (though that was not in your question)sudo apt-get install -f
worked, but i have other problems now...
