~lots of HIT & GET no issues here~

Hit https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com ./ Packages
Fetched 594B in 7s (80B/s)
Reading package lists...
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /opt/fapman-cache/lists/repository.maemo.org_extras-devel_dists_fremantle_free_binary-armel_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

Anyone got any ideas what happened here? Help appreciated...
The Packages file is corrupt - I've no idea how this happens, but it seems to crop up occasionally. I'd suggest deleting the file (rm /opt/fapman-cache/lists/repository.maemo.org_extras-devel_dists_fremantle_free_binary-armel_Packages) and re-running the update.
