Linux Mint Forums

Probably done something stupid, but if so, I don't know what!!

Get this message when told to go to Synaptic, and check packages, but this as far as I can get.

Tried sudo apt-get update, but get similar type message.

Help please?
Pete


E: Encountered a section with no Package: header

E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

You can remove the mergelists and create them anew. See the two commands for that I share here: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 23#p638950. I'm not sure why this happens, but is happens for some users--Linux Mint 15 will have an improved software sources program, in which you will have a button to fix these kind of issues automatically.

Thank you xenopee. You have made my day. All good. THX
