    Cannot OPEN APT Database (Solved)

    Hi,
    following some advise I tried to use the terminal and did something or other wrong
    Now I get the message 'Could not open cache - adept updater'
    Caused by incorrect APT configuration - try apt-setup and apt-get update in terminal

    When I do so, Iget the following:

    piet@pietselaptop:~$ sudo apt-setup
    [sudo] password for piet:
    sudo: apt-setup: command not found
    piet@pietselaptop:~$ apt-get update
    E: Type 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu' is not known on line 56 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
    piet@pietselaptop:~$

    Can anyone help? Short of reloading Kubuntu?

    Open /etc/apt/sources.list in an editor.

    Code:
    kdesu kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list
    Find the offending line and comment it out by placing a "#" at the beginning of the line.

    Save the file.

    Run update.

    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
