Can't open adept installer

Error message:
The apt database could not be opened! This may be caused by incorrect APT configuration or some similar problem. Try running apt-get update in terminal and see if it helps to resolve the problem.

Ran apt-get update:
E: Type 'http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/linux/eve_000066_all.debdeb' is not known on line 56 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo apt-get update gives the same.

So, the system is telling you what is wrong.

Ran apt-get update:
E: Type 'http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/linux/eve_000066_all.debdeb' is not known on line 56 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list

Another hint from the system.

It will probably be easier for someone to help you if you post the contents of that file, /etc/apt/sources.list, it seems there is an incorrect line in it.

sudo apt-get update gives the same.

Yes, it would be expected to in this case.

Hi Mustek,

the link is wrong. Open your /etc/apt/sources.list as root and delete/comment out the offending line followed by a

sudo apt-get update
