it seems there is a problem in my source list which I cant find; everytime I try to open synaptic this error appears:
E: Malformed line 57 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)
E: The list of sources could not be read.
Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
on opening my source list, line 57 doesnt seem to exist, this is it;
(Im a new user and can only post two hyperlinks - these are the last two lines and I suspect one of them is the problem...)
