apt0get update not working
 

Hi all,

Till now i was able to do apt-get update. but today i started to the following error:

# 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
#

Could any one let me know how to solve it.

Thanks & Regards
