Hi all, thank you for your help! Recently I tried to install some packages for setting up my cloud server on the raspberry, such as rtorrent and dmenu for i3wm  
The problem is that, at any time I try to install/uninstall/update something, it returns me this error:

```auto
sudo apt-get install program-name
Reading package lists... Error!
E: lzma_read: Read error (10)
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

```

Can someone help me? It’s true that I’ve seen a problem like this before, but it didn’t had any solution. Maybe it’s a bug or something about the recent update. Thanks for your help! 😁

Here’s some useful information:
