ubuntu 11.04 update manager and software center issue

by on Jun.30, 2011, under Ubuntu, ubuntu 11.04

Todau morning the update manager gives me the below error

E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_i18n_Translation-en, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

I have run the below command for fxing the issue.

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

The issue due to the corrupt application, I hope…………
