57  deb http://deb.playonlinux.com/ precise main
59  deb http://deb.playonlinux.com/precise main

See the space before precise. Or you are missing the word "precise" before main.

Same goes for the commented line 60: missing space of missing the word "precise" before main.

It goes "deb" "url" "ubuntuversion" "main"

As mentioned on comments section, you have the crashed on the list between on the line 

57 deb http://deb.playonlinux.com/ precise main

and 

59 deb http://deb.playonlinux.com/precise main

Edit your sources.list with a Graphical Editor like gedit or nano with a path using 

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

and find the line of 59 and add #. that should be 

#deb http://deb.playonlinux.com/ precise main

Saved and update your apt.

Hope this helps.

  • I read it somewhere, do I need to replace 'precise' to 'trusty' to make it aligned with my OS? – Sukma Wijaya Dec 01 '18 at 14:50
  • if you will add a Precise Distribution into Trusty Distribution, i have tried! it will crash some package between Precise and Trusty. of course you don't need it!! change your PlayOnLInux Repository to Trusty Distribution like another the list on your sources.list. – abu-ahmed al-khatiri Dec 01 '18 at 14:56
  • if it's hopefully, try using a UpVote at my answer section with the mark of arrow up!!. – abu-ahmed al-khatiri Dec 01 '18 at 15:04
