Ubuntu: 'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList

When you try to update your system with update-manager or synaptic or apt-get or ... you receive the error message

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.

(The filename /var/lib/apt/lists/... might be different)

This is caused by a problem in the local storage of the package directory.

There is a command that clears up all locally stored lists (which is part of the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure)

Open a terminal (ctrl-alt-t) end execute these three commands:

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists/partial

In most cases executing these commands solves the problem, and updating the system works again.

Tech News :VirtualBox access shared folders from Windows XP guest OS


From the VirtualBox's menu, go to Devices Shared Folders... to add/remove the folders of the host operating system that you would like to share with the guest operating system (Windows XP, in this example). When done click Ok.

Now we are going to access the folders we added. DO NOT open My Network Places! Instead open a new explorer instance. You can do that by pressing WinKey-E or by executing the explorer command (Start Run... type "explorer" Ok). You should see a windows that looks like this:

Now, carefully click on the expand icon (expand icon) right next to My Network Places. Make sure you click exactly on the expand icon. If you accidentally clicked on My Network Places, you ruined everything and you will have to go back and start all over again. After expanding the My Network Places branch, you should be able to see Entire Network right underneath:

Now expand the Entire Network branch, too, and you should be able to see VirtualBox Shared Folders:

Open VirtualBox Shared Folders. Normally, you should be able to see your shared folders in there.
