When you try do an update or upgrade from apt-get, you get below error message

 

 

 

 

Reading package lists… Error!
E: Read error – read (5: Input/output error)
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

For previous release, it might be because of the Ubuntu bug, but it has been fixed.
But for recent release you might need to remove every file under /var/lib/apt/lists/

sudo rm -vf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

good luck!
