Title:
  apt fails to get update for language files

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  My system: Ubuntu 14:04

  $ uname -a
  kernel: Linux roland-nb 3.13.0-30-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 4 21:40:53 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  $ dpkg -l apt-utils
  ii  apt-utils                          1.0.1ubuntu2.1         amd64

  I have repeatedly, over the last two months, been having this problem
  when updates are run automatically with update-manager.  When I then
  run "apt-get update", I get this error:

  Reading package lists... Error!
  E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
  E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/za.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_trusty-updates_main_i18n_Translation-en
  E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

  There is a workaround. Delete the file and rerun the update, but this
  is always the same file (i18n_Translation-en) and my machine is
  connected to an good internet connection when this happens.

  There has been a similar report in previous version that have been
  fixed, like bug #1254271 and bug #346386, but this seems a new case,
  since it always affects the language file.
