I recently performed the sudo apt-get update command to update the binary package descriptions and I got the following error message:

E: Malformed line 12 in source list /sw/etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)

I tried this both in the terminal and using FinkCommander. I looked at my /sw/etc/apt/sources.list file and this is what it looks like:

# Local modifications should either go above this line, or at the end.
#
# Default APT sources configuration for Fink, written by the fink program

# Local package trees - packages built from source locally
# NOTE: this is automatically kept in sync with the Trees: line in
# /sw/etc/fink.conf
# NOTE: run 'fink scanpackages' to update the corresponding Packages.gz files

# Put local modifications to this file below this line, or at the top.

Does anyone else know how to fix this problem?
