E: Malformed entry 2 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor-project.list (Component)
E: The list of sources could not be read.

I've tried most of the fixes on this site, including removing the /etc/apt/sources.list file and putting it on my desktop. After following that "fix" I couldn't figure out how to continue. sudo-apt-update just returns the error above.

I've used Linux for several years, but not really savvy with terminal usage. I've found fixes that give the default lists, but above my head! What other details do you need?

    Does this answer your question? E: Malformed entry 54 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list (Component) – karel Feb 16 '23 at 01:33

    The error does not mention /etc/apt/sources.list, it is a different file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor-project.list that you need to address – steeldriver Feb 16 '23 at 01:50

    Read all error messages carefully. This one tells you exactly where the problem is: in list file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor-project.list – Organic Marble Feb 16 '23 at 02:14
  • I downloaded the Ubuntu 22.04 Sources List and pasted it into the editor. Now I don't know how to use the commands at the bottom of the page to save the list. – Mikrose Feb 18 '23 at 21:28

  • Organic Marble, I see that file, but what do I do with it? Delete it? – Mikrose Feb 28 '23 at 23:31
