apt-get update doesn't work

#1 Post by newbie123 »

Hello, I tried to solve my problem, but I can't find working solution. When I type "apt-get update" command, I get this output:

Code: Select all

Ign:1 http://ftp.pl.debian.org/debian stretch InRelease
Hit:2 http://ftp.pl.debian.org/debian stretch-updates InRelease
Hit:3 http://ftp.pl.debian.org/debian stretch Release                          
Hit:4 http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates InRelease     
Reading package lists... Error!                                                
W: Unknown Multi-Arch type '�same' for package 'libmate-window-settings1'
E: Problem parsing dependency 20
E: Error occurred while processing libmate-window-settings1 (NewVersion2)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.pl.debian.org_debian_dists_stretch_main_binary-amd64_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
I tried to delete /var/lib/apt/lists/* and issue again command, but it doesn't work.

grunged entry in /var/lib/dpkg/status?

Code: Select all

# grep -A12 'Package: libmate-window-settings1' /var/lib/dpkg/status
look for weArd erroos, spelliHg, ofdd characters, etc...

# dpkg -V libmate-window-settings1

After executing of first command, I don't get output. When I issue second command, I get:

Code: Select all

dpkg: package 'libmate-window-settings1' is not installed

Thanks, It's working. Previously I issued this command with zero result, but after reboot it seems to be all working.
