Try removing lists and updating:

sudo rm -f /var/lib/apt/lists/*

and then

sudo apt-get update

  • It says rm: cannot remove ‘/var/lib/apt/lists/partial’: Is a directory – Mdxxx Aug 22 '15 at 01:48
  • Try removing this one using sudo rm -Rf /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/ and then execute sudo rm -f /var/lib/apt/lists/* again. Use the last command for every forlder you receive the last error – Guilherme Caldas Nov 03 '15 at 18:23
