I'd like to install java runtime but it just does Reading package lists... 

Error!
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/repo.steampowered.com_steam_dists_precise_steam_i18n_Translation-en
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

I think your control file is corrupted.

Try this:

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/apt/lists/partial
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
