Hi,
While trying to look for the latest updates, I get the following error messages:
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/packages.linuxmint.com_dists_debian_import_i18n_Translation-en
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
It says "Please report", so here you are.
Nothing else broken, can live without the updates for now.

Re: Update not possible
You can clean these files. Run the command:
Then run the following to refresh them:
Code: Select all
sudo rm -fv /var/lib/apt/lists/*
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update

Re: Update not possible
Many thanks, update went alright now, but still with a few error messages:

Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Re: Update not possible
Weird, it is looking for a file called "Packages" but that mirror only has "Packages.gz" and "Packages.bz2". See: http://mirror.rts-informatique.fr/linux ... nary-i386/. I'm not sure if that is incorrect though. The first two errors probably relate to the last three? Because it can't find the index files, it's trying to use the old ones--which my command deleted (with the idea it would refresh them, but now it can't find them on your mirror ).
