I've deleted every thing in the /var/lib/apt/lists directory (actually backed it up) and ran sudo apt-get update in a terminal. I still getting an error:
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.
