Reading package lists... Error!
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList
/var/lib/apt/lists/packages.linuxmint.com_dists_nadia_import_i18n_Translation-en
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
Getting error from update manager as well. That happened about a week
ago. I thought something was wonky on Mint's or Ubuntu's end. Reported
error and waited a few days. same error message when I tried again.

Started having problem about a week ago.
Many comments about this problem online. I read about changing router
settings. Did not think the problem was there. Connected my laptop
directly to my isp's cable. Was able to ping w/no errors. Then tried
apt-get and update manager again, getting same error message.
Something wrong with
/var/lib/apt/lists/packages.linuxmint.com_dists_nadia_import_i18n_Translation-en
that I posted above? what should it read?
I can torrent stuff, no problem.
