http://askubuntu.com/questions/30072/how-do-i-fix-a-problem-with-mergelist-or-status-file-could-not-be-parsed-err

The computer gave me this output in a window:
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_binary-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. 
 
 
These terminal commands should solve your problem:
First remove the Merge List by opening a terminal (Press Ctrl+Alt+T to launch) and run this command*:
sudo rm -vf /var/lib/apt/lists/* Next, generate a new one by running a simple update:
sudo apt-get update
