put the content of /etc/apt/sources.list in your question – Maythux Apr 28 '15 at 08:28 — Maythux, Apr 28 '15 at 08:28

Find out what's causing the error. There must be some broken PPAa. To see these PPAs when you run sudo apt-get update, look at the lines that say

W: Failed to fetch: 'url of ppa'

Now go to Software & Updates > Other Software and remove the conflicting PPAs.

If the error is causing because of the presence of unsupported packages, remove that package in the sources.lst. TO do this type:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

go to Software & Updates > Other Software and see if this is listed. Remove this from the list. – Ron Apr 28 '15 at 08:48
