The output is: 4 -rwx------ 1 root root 2276 2007-11-06 21:27 /etc/apt/sources.list
I would appreciate any guidance on what I should change the permissions to. This seems to be an important problem for my system, as I cannot run Package Manager nor the Add/Remove program. When I try to run the Add/Remove program, it gives me the rather serious message: Failed to check for installed and available applications This is a major failure of your software management system. Please check for broken packages with synaptic, check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information with 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f' I did both of those things, to no avail. The permissions of the sources.list file should be changed, but I do not know what to change them to.
