Run these three commands in the Terminal Ctrl+Alt+T

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
sudo apt-get clean all
sudo apt-get update

I run the first command, the result is

No command 'sudo:' found, did you mean:
 Command 'sudo' from package 'sudo' (main)
 Command 'sudo' from package 'sudo-ldap' (universe)
sudo:: command not found

Take care on what you type, type sudo without the ":"
