Error “E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList …….”

Fix it by this steps ..  #linux_mint_17.2

1- Clean up..
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get purge
sudo apt-get autoremove -y
sudo rm -fv /var/lib/apt/lists/*


2- Full update..
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y


Then reboot. I suspect you’ll find your errors in the GUI update tool will have gone.

Thank you so much! This worked beautifully on my Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS system at home.
