You could run the *System* > *Administration* > *Software Sources*application. This may tell you which line is causing the error and if your very luck fix it. If you are feeling brave, you can edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file yourself, this has to be done as root (super user). Use the following command in a terminal window: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list -- John Stevenson jr0cket.com leanagilemachine.com
