Got the same problem. Tried to delete old kernel-images (3.2.0.29 and 3.2.0.30), then got the error message:

E: Der dpkg-Prozess wurde unterbrochen; Sie müssen manuell »sudo dpkg --configure -a« ausführen, um das Problem zu beheben.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

Restarting Synaptic fails with the same error message. Removing all files in /var/lib/apt/lists/ fails with the following error message:

rm: Entfernen von »lists/de.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_main_i18n_Index“ nicht möglich: Eingabe-/Ausgabefehler

After that, running ls in /var/lib/apt/lists/ stucks and can't be aborted via CMD+C. Running sudo apt-get update gives no output.
