after cat command try to boot into recovery/safe mode and restore broken packages.

This won't help - the file needs editing to remove at least one bad line.

There will be no need to boot into recovery mode.

I don't think they were causing the error - as far as I know it will stop at the first error - line #62.

Everytime I try to connect to the synaptic package manager it immediately closes. Same thing with any other package manager. When I run a sudo apt-get update it goes through like it is going to update and then goes to a prompt. Gives me an error about connecting to the server.
