Error Opening Ubuntu Software Center

Hi guys,
I just install Ubuntu 10.10 in my Pc. After the installation is completed, I just want to download some software,s via "Ubuntu Software Center" which is presented in the applications menu.
 But here I got the problem. It doesn’t opens.
I also got an error message.

Could not initialize the package information
An unresolveble 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 Merge List /var/lib/apt/lists/extras.ubuntu.com, ubuntu_dists-maverick_main_binary-1386_packages, E:The package list or status file could not be parsed or opened"
Close
So, I need some solution for this.
Thanks in advance:
