      Hello,

       

      It looks like the [Package file|http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu/dists/bionic/mongodb-org/4.0/multiverse/binary-amd64/Packages] for the 4.0 Ubuntu Bionic repository in repo.mongodb.org ended up with an extraneous line at the end:

      dpkg-scanpackages: info: Wrote 85 entries to output Packages file.

      This is causing apt-get to consider the Packages file to be corrupted:

      Reading package lists... Error!
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/repo.mongodb.org_apt_ubuntu_dists_bionic_mongodb-org_4.0_multiverse_binary-amd64_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

      The problem is not present in the 4.1 or 4.2 repositories. We've got some automated tests running daily that pull the packages file so it's most likely this only got broken today, possibly by the script updating repository listings...
