解决Encountered a section with no Package: header错误

  解决E: Encountered a section with no Package: header错误

    我的ubuntu机器上出现下面这个错误。

    Reading package lists... Error!

    E: Encountered a section with no Package: header

    E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.sjtu.edu.cn_ubuntu_dists_precise-security_restricted_binary-i386_Packages

    E: The package lists or status file
could not be parsed or opened.

    虽然不知道是怎么回事，但是google出来的结果提示可以按如下方法解决，记录之：

    sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf

    sudo apt-get
update
