Error setting permissions function not implemented

[gold_finger]

Hi! tried to update my computer, and i get this message:

E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/repository.spotify.com_dists_stable_non-free_i18n_Translation-en%5fUS
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

Synaptic closes after a few seconds. have any advice on how i can fix this?

Have a look at second post down on this thread for solution:  http://askubuntu.com/questions/491373/14...ugin-error.

If you are not sure how to implement first part of that solution, open a Terminal and enter these two commands (one line at a time):

Code:

cd /etc/apt
ls

Then copy/paste the output from terminal back here for us to look at.  (See here for how to do that.)

So you know what commands do:
*  first line changes directory (cd) to /etc/apt
*  second line just lists (ls) the things in that directory


P.s.  For future reference, it's always best to start a new post of your own rather than adding to someone else's -- especially when the problems are different.  Your post will get looked at by more people when it's on its own and the post of the other person will not get sidetracked onto someone else's problem.
