Package manager problems


All of a sudden I get this:-

E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/gb.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_jaunty_restricted_binary-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

when I start Synaptic, thing is, I can't see the archive.ubuntu line in the sources.list to remove it.

Help please!
