Breezy source list in Dapper?

[pkbarber]

My synaptic package manager quit on me yesterday.

E: Malformed line 49 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist)
E: The list of sources could not be read.
Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.

So I went and looked in the list

I tried to cut and paste the correct list from the forums to the file but its read only.
Why would I have all Breezy repostitories on a Dapper box? Thoughts?

I don't know where you got that Breezy list from... did you use Automatix, maybe?

You can easily get a Dapper list back, though. Just paste these commands into the terminal:

wget -c http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/sources.list
sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/breezy.list
sudo mv sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list

I did not use automatrix but I did use another script along the same line...
However after some terminal work using vi and gedit i got the right list back in. There were a TON of updates. Thanks for your advice.
