14.04 software centre problems after trying to download dropbox

Question

After trying to download Dropbox I get an error message in top bar of screen: "Unknown error ''(E:Malfomed line 56 in source list/etc/apt/sources.list(distparse))' This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies."

It suggested running Package Manager or apt-get in the terminal but that produced nothing very helpful. As a newbie to Ubuntu I'm rather lost!

Open a terminal and enter:

sudo apt-get -f install

Do you still get the error message? – UTF-8 Jan 06 '16 at 12:39
