I experience the exact same errors when spaces are present between the
square brackets of the option lists. E.g. each of these lines will
trigger the same error:

> deb [ arch=amd64,i386 ] http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ jessie main
> deb [ arch=amd64 ] http://www.emdebian.org/debian/ jessie main
> deb [ arch=armhf ] http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/ wheezy main

Remove the spaces to get the following and the errors disappear:

> deb [arch=amd64,i386] http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ jessie main
> deb [arch=amd64] http://www.emdebian.org/debian/ jessie main
> deb [arch=armhf] http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/ wheezy main
