I've searched and read similar posts on this topic but have not been able to find a solution. When running sudo apt-get update I get the following error: Reading package lists... Error! E: Read error - read (5: Input/output error) E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. I have tried the various instructions on some of the other forums including this, nothing has worked: sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* sudo apt-get update The install is pretty new, about a month or so old. I've run 12.04 before without issues on the same PC. In a potentially related issue, my system hangs at times, I haven't had this issue previously. The contents of /etc/apt/sources.list is below, i understand it is correct (?): # deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 12.04 LTS _Precise Pangolin_ - Release i386 (20120423)]/ precise main restricted # See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to # newer versions of the distri

If so, what are its permissions, and is it empty? If not, what does it contain? –Faheem Mitha Jun 26 '14 at 23:54 Yes, it does exist. Its permissions are 644. It contains a detailed list of packages-such as the package name, status, priority...etcetera. There is also a "status-old" file with the same permissions. It appears to contain the same information. –Jeffrey_B Jun 27 '14 at 0:37 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 6 down vote accepted If you google out this error there are plenty of links which describe this error.
