I am facing a problem with /etc/apt/sources.list

The 52nd line appears to be malformed

Line 52: deb http://archive.canonical.com/ precisepartner

Line 53: deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ precisepartner

This problem has caused Synaptic Package Manager and Ubuntu Software Center to not function properly and close abruptly.

  • Please don't edit such system files if you don't know what you're doing. If you need to add repositories use either the GUI or add files in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory by adding a new file. – gertvdijk Oct 06 '13 at 13:48

Line 52 and 53 should be:

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise partner
deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise partner

Note the missing ubuntu subpath and the missing space between precise and partner. (line numbers as for your situation, not in general)
