Question:

Can't install updates   

---

Every time i try to run update manager i get an error saying
 'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_maverick-security_main_binary-i386_Packages, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'
i've also been getting an error while trying to open Synaptic Package Manager saying
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_maverick-security_main_binary-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Welcome to the forums frikinsweet 

The error suggests that there is some problem with the list files which store the repository information.

So, backup your existing list directory and re-create one.

Code:

sudo mv /var/lib/apt/lists /var/lib/apt/lists.bad

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Hope there shouldn't be any errors afterwards.

Whereas I think apt-get is far more superior and lot less buggy than Update Manager at the moment. Things will improve I hope
