** Description changed: There can be an exception from apt at several times. Unfortunately APT only shows a translated error message and no codes. Often it is unclear what the user should do. Furthermore there can be a broken system, e.g. delted - /var/lib/dpkg/updates #791715 or failing to open TagSection + /var/lib/dpkg/updates (bug 791715) or failing to open TagSection E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/br.archive.ubuntu .com_ubuntu_dists_maverick_universe_binary-i386_Packages, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. + <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwarePackageOperations#general>: "If a + file needed by apt is missing or unparseable, the alert should have + primary text “Software can’t be installed or removed because an + essential file is unreadable.”, and secondary text “No changes were + made.
