Title:
  apport won't report bug in apport

Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  attempting to run:
  ubuntu-bug
  ubuntu-bug apport
  ubuntu-bug ubuntu-bug

  Given a problem in update-manager, apport became un-usable.  The above
  commands led to "Could not determine the package or source package
  name" or "Please use ubuntu-bug <package-name> to report a bug against
  the particular package".

  This is likely related to 397519, but apport's behavior is
  unacceptable.  A message similar to "ubuntu-bug won't work with
  current system status" would quickly inform users of the situation,
  rather than the incorrect messages above.

  attempting to find package version:
  kiosso@tigger:~$ apt-cache policy apport
  E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
  E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_oneiric-security_main_i18n_Translation-en
  E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
  kiosso@tigger:~$ apt-cache policy ubuntu-bug
  E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
  E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_oneiric-security_main_i18n_Translation-en
  E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
  kiosso@tigger:~$ 

  Minimum expectation: useful error message or information allowing me to quickly figure out how to report the bug
  Reasonable expectation: quickly file useful bug report
  What happened: Confusing mess of incorrect error messages
