FWIW, mkdir -p /var/lib/apt/lists/partial (as root) and then setting permissions on both the partial and lists folder to 755 should work. An "apt-get update" will recreate the files in the lists folder.

Maybe anyone confuse with point #1 and #2. Just type "sudo su" on your terminal. After finish, you can quit from gainroot (sudo su) by "Ctrl+D".
Maybe I've made mistake?

If somebody else has that problem and to quickly solve:
as root
mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists
vi /var/lib/apt/lists/lock -> Press Esc on the screen then write ':wq' on the keyboard, then Enter
mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists/partial
Problem solved
as root
mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists
vi /var/lib/apt/lists/lock -> Press Esc on the screen then write ':wq' on the keyboard, then Enter

Sorry for diggin up such an old topic but I've got a bit different problem here.
with su
Best thing is that /var/lib/apt/lists/ dir does exist.
How to fix that?
with su
Code:
/home/user # apt-get update E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (5 Input/output error) E: Unable to lock the lists directory
How to fix that?

It may be that the automatic update from Hildon Application Manager is interfering, this even might take some minutes...
Are you really using 'su' instead of the other tweaks to gain the rights of root?

I have this application manager problem:
As the error message says, the dir:
How can I resolve this?
I mean it has nothing to do with a rootfs space issue. I got almost 40mb there. Its all about the apt missing its dirs and cant do its thing.
