Greetings All! Hoping you have been enjoying the long weekend, etc. (especially the "etc.").
I have a problem starting synaptic on a Debian Lenny. When it starts up, no packages are reported, and then a window opens with the error message:
An error occurred The following details are provided:
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ security.debian.org_dists_lenny_updates_main_binary-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
When I click to close this window, synaptic then closes. I have had a look at the named file in /var/lib/apt/lists/ which is certainly there, and cannot work out how to fix it.
Any suggestions?
(And, in case I don't write again in time, Happy New Year). Ted. ---------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) Ted.Harding@wlandres.net Date: 26-Dec-2011 Time: 18:41:15
