Running Trisquel 4.5 amd64. When I try to open Synaptic, I get this error:

E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.rediris.es_mirror_Trisquel_packages_dists_slaine-security_main_binary-amd64_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

Because of this, I can't open Synaptic or Update Manager or get updates. Is there any way out of this besides reinstalling the OS?

Thank you. Your second link helped. I ran these two commands:

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get update

Then I ran Update Manager from the launcher. It seems to be fixed. Thanks again!
