Hi there,
I was just tweaking the server settings to get rid of some gpg key issues. They all of a sudden I see this error message in my synaptic
E: Malformed line 5 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (URI parse)
E: The list of sources could not be read.
Go to the repository dialogue to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
sudo apt-get update says
E: Malformed line 5 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (URI parse)
I don't know what is wrong with /etc/apt/sources.list file. I am just posting the contents of the file here.
