Muon Package Manager/Software Center doesn't start

[Jeremy_Ray]

I get -

Initialization Error -

The package system could ot be initialized, your configuration may be broken -

details: encountered a section with no Package : header"

Muon used to work great. I haven't installed anything or made any updates lately. Muon appears to have randomly died.

If a problem occurs with MergeList (appearing as a missing "Package: header" error):

E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList...
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

then repair by recreating the package lists:

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
sudo apt-get update
