Ubuntu Software Center Crashing

Symptom : Ubuntu Software center is unable to open and provide some internal error/unresolved error

You would see the following error message

E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/sg.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_main_binary-i386_Packages, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'

Where : sg would be the country, will be us,ca in case of USA or Canada respectively in case of respective countries .

You could refer the thread : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1750755

Following solved my issues


# First delete all of the previously available listings
sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf

# And then use apt-get to rebuild your package listings
sudo apt-get update
