Public bug reported: Binary package hint: sudo
1)DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=7.10 DISTRIB_CODENAME=gutsy DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 7.10" 2)?? 3)Synaptic does not open either displaying this message: E: Type ‘sudo’ is not known on line 84 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list E: The list of sources could not be read. Go to the repository dialogue to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report. 4)Very new to ubuntu, young, willing to learn but clueless: expected it to open and display what i could update, and synaptic to function as it should. 5)Instead update manager displayed the following error message: Could not initialise the package information An unresolvable problem occurred while initialising the package information. Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Type ‘sudo’ is not known on line 84 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list, E:The list of sources could not be read.' And synaptic said: E: Type ‘sudo’ is not known on line 84 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list E: The list of sources could not be read. Go to the repository dialogue to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report. Thanks in advance for any advice, even if a reinstall is necessary. ** Affects: sudo (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- update manager: 'E:Type ‘sudo’ is not known on line 84 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list, E:The list of sources could not be read.' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196205 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
