My repos became corrupted: Unable to parse package file [duplicate]

Suddenly ubuntu 14.04 started to print this:

Reading package lists... Error!
E: Unable to parse package file /var/lib/apt/lists/ru.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_trusty_restricted_i18n_Translation-en%5fUS (1)
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

I did use only "Software updater". What is the right way to fix it?

Here is an ls -la output

ls -la /var/lib/apt/lists/ | grep restricted_i18n_Translation -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 окт. 18 2013 ru.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_trusty-backports_restricted_i18n_Translation-en -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5062829 мая 8 2014 ru.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_trusty_restricted_i18n_Translation-en%5fUS

Confused with the date of the file: the 8th of May, 2014. I've met the problem few days ago.

Solution 1:

Try a sudo rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists/* and then run sudo apt-get update again.
