I get the red circle with the white line

Question

This is what it says:

An ocurred, please run Package Manager from right-click menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong. The error message was:

Error:Opening the cache(E:Encountered a section with no Package:header,
E:Problem with  MergeList/var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_raring_security_multiverse_i18n_Translation-en
E:The package lists or status file could not be  parsed or opened.)'.
This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies

I tried the following:

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
sudo apt-get update

But still I have not fixed it. Any idea how to fix it?

user164131, from the post Jorge linked, another person said they had to try those two commands several times, but that it did eventually work. Have you tried that? — Quentin Skousen, Jun 03 '13 at 15:35

Try running these commands in a shell and see what the response is:

apt-get check

apt-get -f install

There is nothing in your comment. You get nothing? – Quentin Skousen Jun 03 '13 at 15:15

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 31 not upgraded. – user164131 Jun 03 '13 at 15:17
So then I did: apt-get autoremove, but still is not fixed – user164131 Jun 03 '13 at 15:17
Did you do the apt-get -f install as well? – Quentin Skousen Jun 03 '13 at 15:18
yes I did do it – user164131 Jun 03 '13 at 15:18
Have you made any changes recently to apt-get or your repository configuration that could have triggered this? – Quentin Skousen Jun 03 '13 at 15:31
sudo mv /var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_raring-security_main_i18n_Translation-en ~/extras.backup – user164131 Jun 03 '13 at 15:33
This is the only thing I did, apart from what I said before – user164131 Jun 03 '13 at 15:33
