After trying to install WINE from the WINE HQ .deb, I can no longer get updates or install apps without getting the message:
E: Malformed entry 55 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list (Component) E: The list of sources could not be read.
This is Kubuntu 18.04 64 bit.
I don't know what the 55 refers to, as there are fewer than 55 sources in the list. I've noticed the file sources.list.save is slightly longer than the file sources.list, but don't know whether switching these files will damage anything. I don't see where I can attach the working file (assumption on my part) in case it's needed for review. Please let me know what other information I can provide to help solve this problem.
Thanks, I didn't see where I could edit the question. Here goes...
