Hi All, Running a Mint Qiana 32bit MATE system. For the last month or two... Starting Software Manager gives no apparent response, as if nothing had happened. Starting Synaptic only gives the following error messages (and Synaptic won't run): *****
An error occurred The following details are provided:
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_danielrichter2007_grub-customizer_ubuntu_dists_trusty_main_i18n_Translation-en E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
Can anyone give a basic explanation of what's happened, and/or a step-by-step on how I can fix it? My Mint Qiana 64bit MATE system has (as far as I know) exactly the same programs, repositories, etc. and doesn't have this problem. Thanks very much in advance. Carl Turney
