    synaptic error message

    I am new to Kubuntu. I tried to install nidswrapper and I get the following message, from synaptic.

    Type 'http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/mi...rapper-common' is not known on line 45 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
    E: The list of sources could not be read.
    Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.
    E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

    I read the forum news and tried to rectify by configering etc but it did not work. Now even my adept gives a message to run the command line to get updates and upgrades. I tried and it did not work.

    I need some suggestions to rectify thsis predictment

    Re: synaptic error message

    Could you post the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list?

    And, just for statistics purposes, did you use Automatix at any point?

        Sorry, there's no question mark at the end of the file. I usually write things in quotation marks to avoid that: "/etc/apt/sources.list".

            Re: synaptic error message

            Heh, I missed that in your first post--you don't want to execute it, but read it. Execute "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" (without quotes, of course) to print it to the console.

                Just open up sources.list as root (e.g. "kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list") and delete the last line, this one:

                      Re: synaptic error message

                      Umm... I'm not sure what you're doing there.

                      Once you've deleted the line in Kate and saved the file, everything will work fine. No need to do anything else.

                      Though you may be interested in this. It's not anything bad, just annoying.

                        Greetings.

                        Thanks a lot, now I know my mistake. I am going to start the whole process again and will keep you informed.

                        Regards

                          Greetings. Thanks a million for your patience. Everything is working. I just deleted the line and saved it as per your suggestion.
