2007-11-25 Thread Koen Beek
There are a few strange things in your sources.list file

line
deb http://www.getautomatix.com/apt/ gutsy
seems to be missing a parameter (main ?) - on the other hand you coudl also try 
to comment this line

you can look at what automatix give as an example
http://getautomatix.com/wiki/index.php?title=Sources.list#Ubuntu_7.10_Gutsy_i386_and_AMD64

lines
deb http://tw.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty-backports main restricted 
universe multiverse
deb-src http://tw.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty-backports main restricted 
universe multiverse
seem to link to feisty in stead of gutsy

I suspect the error is cause by the malformed automatix line which is
missing the main parameter at the end of the line
