I just tried to do an aptitude update on my Debian squeeze server.
I get error message like ...
E: Encounted a section with no Package: header
E: The problem with MergeList
/var/lib/apt/lists/security.debian.org_dists_stable_updates_main_binary-amd64-Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened
E: Couldn't rebuild the package cache.
I tried deleting all the files in /var/lib/apt/lists/
and trying again, but it just repeated the message
Is this a glitch with the security.debian.org files today - or something
more serious.
After this message occurs, you can't do anything other than close aptitude.
I tried Cancel Pending Actions (from the Actions menu) and got a
segfault in aptitude.
Anyone else seeing anything like this?
