Bug Description
Ubuntu 11.10 with Gnome shell and i was just after adding the following repositories in Terminal and i noticed the source list would not update.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/testing
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team
On opening update-manager I got the following error message.
Could not initialise the package information
An unresolvable problem occurred while initialising the package information.
Please report this bug for the 'update-manager' package and try to include the following error message:
'W:Ignoring file 'getdeb.list.bck' in directory '/etc/apt/
I have a similar problem in Ubuntu 11.10
A red "no entry" icon stays permanently in my top bar.
Once I click on it, this message is shown: "a problem ocurred in verifying updates"
Them, it gives me few options to click: Show updates, install updates, verify updates, preferences.
Clicking in show updates will launch the update manager and the no entry icon will reappear after trying to retrive the packages.
Clicking in install updates or in verify updates, the same message will be shown:
Fail to load package lists. this is a severe problem. Try again later. If the problem persists, please report a bug to the developers.
Details: sources. list.d/ medibuntu. list
E:Type '<!DOCTYPE' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/
