LL3.0: "couldn't fetch the package cache information lists"
#1
I'm now unable to use 'Install Updates' or 'Lite Software' from the Menu, as I get this message popping up on screen whenever I make an attempt: "couldn't fetch the package cache information lists". How do I fix this?

It seemed to follow download of Virtualbox 5.1.4 r110228 (Qt5.5.1) and its Extension package, from the Oracle website, though don't know if the two are related.

The log from the location /var/log/lite-software.log is given below:

64bit OS (32-bit on Samsung[i] netbook) installed in [i]Legacy mode on MBR-formatted SSDs (except pi which uses a micro SDHC card):
2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ [email protected] - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)  
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ [email protected] - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work
