Hi and welcome to the forums :-)

Please post the contents of the sources.list:


cat /etc/apt/sources.list

To do this, open a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T and copy/paste the command in there then copy and paste the results here.

Thanks.

Try these 2 commands:


sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
sudo apt-get update

The first one removes corrupted lists, the second refreshes them.
