我设置了一个 rabbitmq-server，它在 ubuntu 16.04 上出现问题，因此我尝试重新安装它。
我遇到了这个：
$ sudo apt remove rabbitmq-server
Reading package lists... Error!
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ports.ubuntu.com_ubuntu-ports_dists_xenial_main_binary-armhf_Packages
运行后sudo apt update（我需要sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf先从其他 stackoverflow 答案运行）我在删除 rabbitmq-server 时收到此错误
$ sudo apt remove rabbitmq-server

在此之后，所有 apt 命令都出现问题，但我无法弄清楚panic: Incorrect version for previously generated inversion list.错误来自哪里。
答案1
事实证明，该问题是由一些 apt 安装前/安装后脚本使用的 perl 版本损坏/安装错误引起的，导致 apt 安装/删除失败
perl 脚本出现 panic: Incorrect version for previous generated inversion list. 错误来自
