This wasn't meant to be a command. I am sorry.=20
I was thinking of any of the GUI package manager.
If you like to use apt-get, it's just 'apt-get update' , like you did:

> iron:~# apt-get update
> E: Lists directory /var/lib/apt/lists/partial is missing.

Perhaps you should verify what's up, first:

(login to a shell as root)
cd /var/lib/apt/lists
ls -al

-> Is there an (empty) directory like, exactly, except the date:
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4,0K 2005-09-06 23:24 partial/

-> If not, try to create the repective dir like this:
(but this should never be necessary anyway)
mkdir -m 755 partial=20

...and run the update command again.
