Synaptic Package Manager fault

[mkstallings1]

When I try to open Synaptic Package Manager I get this fault:

E: Type '“deb' is not known on line 62 in source list /etc/apt/sources.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.

I also can't get Ubuntu Software center to open.

I am running Ubuntu 10.10

This started after I tried to install buc-0.5.2_bin_full.deb (67813) (http://buc.billeragroup.net/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=1), part of the Burg Manager Install tutorial @ http://www.unixmen.com/software/1072-burg-manager-install-and-configure-burg-the-easy-way

Thanks for any help

The last line of your output starts with "deb - the " needs to be deleted.

In a terminal use


sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

then delete the " and save the file then exit the file.
Then

sudo apt-get update
which hopefully should now complete.

That seemed to do it.

Thank you very much
