Hello, winoseti.
The key phrase in this message line is: "E: Problem with MergeList ..."
Launch Software Sources from the Mint Menu. Activate the Maintenance tab. Click the big button labelled "Fix MergeList Problems". Should do the trick and allow Software Manager, Synaptic and mintUpdate to function correctly again.
Kind regards,
Karl
