On startup today Trisquel has a big red error icon in the system tray talking about the package manager having a serious problem. I tried to run updates but I get the error seen in the screenshot here. I've tried sudo apt-get clean but it did not change anything.

What should I do?

Execute that:
$ sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*
Then, try again to update.

Yes, but the removal of the regular files (which did occur) may have been enough.
