apt-get error: Unable to find expected entry 'utilities-1.4/binary-amd64/Packages' in Release file

Question

When I run sudo apt-get update I get this error:

W: Failed to fetch http://repo.mysql.com/apt/ubuntu/dists/trusty/InRelease  Unable to find expected entry 'utilities-1.4/binary-amd64/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

What can I do?

Could you please [edit] your question to include the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list. — , Aug 24 '15 at 11:52
after editing "sudo -H gedit /etc/apt/sources.list " . i got deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main universe restricted multiverse — Ankit_Chaudhary, Aug 24 '15 at 11:53
I'd suggest renaming /etc/apt/sources.list to sourcesbak.list and then running sudo apt-get update again. You'll need to re-add your sources. — TheWanderer, Aug 24 '15 at 11:53
can you post the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mysql.list? — Ron, Aug 24 '15 at 12:06

The problem is that there are no utilities-1.4 package in MySQL repo. There is only utilities-1.5.

I can only assume that you might be having utilities-1.4in your mysql.list. The solution is to reconfigure mysql by:

dpkg-reconfigure mysql-apt-config

Select 'Utilities'-> OK -> mysql-utilities-1.5 -> OK -> Apply

Then run:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
