Public bug reported:
Update-notifier doesn't work at all if *one* package source gives a list
that can't be parsed. It should still be able to work on packages from
*other* sources. After seeing the error in the system tray icon, I ran:
```
$ sudo apt-get update
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList
/var/lib/apt/lists/adoptopenjdk.jfrog.io_adoptopenjdk_deb_dists_disco_main_binary-amd64_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
```
apt-get successfully processed all but one of the package lists, so I would
have expected update-notifier to do so as well.
I had to manually file this bug, because this error also prevents
ubuntu-bug update-notifier from working (see attached).
