software-center
My Ubuntu Software Center has stopped working and I have been trying to uninstall/re-install it. This is the error that I repeatedly keep receiving:
drew@drew-Aspire-5750:~$ sudo apt-get remove software-center
[sudo] password for drew: Reading package lists... Error! E: Encountered a section with no Package: header E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/dl.google.com_linux_chrome_deb_dists_stable_main_binary-i386_Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. drew@drew-Aspire-5750:~$ sudo apt-get autoremove software-center Reading package lists...

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
