I had the same problem (after enabling the extras-devel). everytime I check for updates or downloads from application manager it display: (no updates available)
and (no applications avaiable).

then I tried to use "apt-get update" from xterm:

Code:

/home/user # apt-get update
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (
2 No such file or directory)
E: Unable to lock the list directory
/home/user #

I created the above missing file (empty) and run the command again:

Code:

/home/user # apt-get update
E: Lists directory /var/lib/apt/lists/partial is missing.

I created the missing directory and run the command again.

this time the update worked but I run in another problem:
"Failed to truncate file - ftruncate ( 28 No space left on device)"

I disabled the extras-testing and extras-devel but still need more free space on rootfs to install important updates.
