I have one problem for updating my Ubuntu server list as you could see here:

so i found this instruction to fix it by :

Error 1: Problem With MergeList

When you run update in terminal, you may see an error “problem with MergeList” like below:

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

For some reasons, the file in /var/lib/apt/lists directory got corrupted. You can delete all the files in this directory and run the update again to regenerate everything afresh. Use the following commands one by one:

sudo rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists/* sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update

Your problem should be fixed.

and i get this feedback form my ubuntu :

so@so-notebook:~$ sudo rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists/*
so@so-notebook:~$ sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update

enter image description here

but i get this error at last:

W:GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu bionic InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 6D975C4791E7EE5E, E:The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu bionic InRelease' is not signed.

what kind of logs are needed for debugging?

Thanks for your attention.

    Your first set of errors are DNS errors, that's usually an ISP / DNS configuration issue. The second set of issues is because you didn't use add-apt-repository to add the PPAs so you need to download individual PGP keys for those repos to verify them. – Thomas Ward Dec 12 '19 at 19:14
  • So i have added the sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppar and i thinks it would be working ... – Soheil Paper Dec 12 '19 at 19:32
