apt-get报错 E: Encountered a section with no Package: header E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/

问题症状：

    ubuntu右上角，在输入法旁边多出一个红色的圆环，里面有一条白杠，右键点击，出现一个对话框。上面写着：发生了一个错误，，请通过右键菜单运行软件包管理器或通过终端执行apt-get来查看具体错误。

解决方法：ubuntu12.04更新源。操作如下：

1、首先备份Ubuntu 12.04源列表
$    sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup                  （注释：备份下当前的源列表） 

2、修改更新源
$    sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list                                                                （注释：打开Ubuntu 12.04源列表文件） 

3、将下面的代码粘贴进去（“#”开头的那一行为注释，可以直接复制进文件中）:
