someone please help me out

[sidheart]

I by mistake updated my 8.04 with some feisty mediubuntu repos

Now when I go to synaptics package manager i get the following error

E: Type '<!DOCTYPE' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.
Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

please someone help me out

lets just take a look at the file and edit manually. Run all the following commands in terminal.

1. Backup the file in case we really screw up:

sudp cp /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list.bak

2. Post the contents of the file to the forum:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

Then copy out of gedit and into the terminal so we can help you find the errors.

Also a title of "someone please help me out" is very useless. Next time make it something more like: "E: Type '<!DOCTYPE' is not known"

do this:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

then just remove every line that has medibuntu in it. save file and

sudo apt-get update
