Need Help with Adept Installer

[windbiter]

I have been trying to complete and Adept update and I am getting an error message. It tells me to run apt-setup then apt-get update. When I open the console and try to run the command, I get a file not found.

It means that there's an error in your sources.list file, which holds your repositories list. I'm sure that on line 36 of that file, you have a deg word that is supposed to be deb.

Is there a set of instructions for accessing and correcting this?

Re: Need Help with Adept Installer

To correct an error in /etc/apt/sources.list, you can open a text editor in super user mode:

kdesu kate

followed by your password

Then in kate, click "open" and then browse (like you would in Windows), using the up-arrow on the menu bar to go to the top (root) directory "/", and then open /etc, and then open /etc/apt, and then find and click to open the file "menu.list". Find the "deg" that should be "deb" error on line 36, fix it, and save the file. Exit kate, and run the four commands that I previously posted, and you should get closer to success.
