We installed Ubiquiti UniFi 2.4.6 which installs Mongodb 10gen on Debian Squeeze 6.0.9. This was a clean install, with no other packages installed from the base install (other than SSH). I was able to successfully install both UniFi and Mongodb, but received the following when running an apt-get update:

Pertinent error:

****Reading package lists... Error!**

****E: Encountered a section with no Package: header**

E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/downloads-distro.mongdb.org_repo_ubuntu-upstart_dists_dist_10gen_binary-i386_Packages

**E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.******

I've ran a sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf followed by an apt-get clean && apt-get update with the same error appearing. (I did back up the lists directory. Any ideas?)

As an aside, I should mention, that I tried to remove unifi and it probably goes without saying it won't uninstall.

Here's a head of downloads-distro.mongdb.org_repo_ubuntu-upstart_dists_dist_10gen_binary-i386_Packages (removed the links)

You tried to install MongoDB with the Ubuntu installation method, rather than the Debian installation method. Try again and this time use the correct installation method.

  • Got it, but I can't even remove the MongoDB gen10 to begin with. Ideas on how to do that?
