Only thing I can think of is to try to change server.You can do that under software center>edit>software repositories and change it to main.

[rawtoas]

i allready had it set for main and now it does this when i open update manager Could not initialize the package information An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information. Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Malformed line 37 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist), E:The list of sources could not be read.'
