    Re: Error trying to edit sources.list

    It sounds like you downloaded a raw web page instead of a plaintext version of the medibuntu.list file - what were you doing right before this happened?

    My understanding is that the medibuntu project has been discontinued btw

    Moved to own thread.

    @ogburnpaul, your problem is somewhat different from the thread you posted to. It's better to start your own threads.

    As steeldriver said, the medibuntu repo is no more.
    Code:
    sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu*
    
    sudo apt-get update
