Here's my geeky tip for updating your /etc/apt/sources.list on Ubuntu GNU/Linux.This tip is especially useful around April/October when the new Ubuntu releases are freed into the wild and the main servers are very busy.I know what you're saying: This can easily be done from the Ubuntu Software Center via the edit > sources menu.
i am trying to update Ubuntu via terminal, but it gives the error message as bellow
E: Malformed line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list (dist parse)
E: The list of sources could not be read.
my Ubuntu software center could be the problem?

Hi,
I made a lame mistake of deleting some precise .list files from /etc/apt/sources.list.d in backtrack 5 R3. The reason for this was that the KPackageKit notified me about a ubuntu upgrade and the upgrade hanged at the "ilegal" source files, so i deleted them, without making a backup.

Every time I try to install a nwe aplication or any other library to my ubuntu 12.04 it does everything and at the end it shows me a message saying:

I'm trying to use apt-get source as a regular user on a debian squeeze system.
I want to retrieve the sources for cyrus-imapd-2.4 from the testing/wheezy repository.
apt-get source works without root privilegets; however, it seems there is no way to get apt-get to fetch anything from a repository that is not in /etc/apt/sources.list.
Is there any command line option, alternate sources.list file
