That was fast... is now solved. Good job!

But I have just tried again, and I get

"
Could not initialize the package information

A unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package
information.

Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include
the following error message:

'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with
MergeList
/var/lib/apt/lists/security.debian.org_dists_lenny_updates_main_binary-
i386_Packages,
E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.' "

I think this is the same error as before.

Forget the updater applet ;-).

Run (as root):

apt-get update && apt-get -V upgrade

It should work just fine. If not, it can be that the repository you are
using is still not synced/updated.
