Update manager error: Comment=Flock not known on line 3 source list/etc/apt/sources./list, E: the sources could not be read
When I try to open the the update manager I get the following error message:
An unresolvable problem occurred while initialising the package information.
Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:
'E:Type ‘Comment=Flock’ is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/
When I go Synaptic manager I get the following message:
E: Type ‘Comment=Flock’ is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/
E: The list of sources could not be read.
Go to the repository dialogue to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
When I go to Add/Remove Applications I get the following:
Failed to check for installed and available applications
This is a major failure of your software management system. Please check for broken packages with synaptic, check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/
Any assistance in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
