Ding Ding Ding! This is the error message.

Open /etc/apt/sources.list in your fave text editor, like this:-

ALT+F2, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list 

Go to line 40 and see what's wrong with it. Maybe a line has wrapped
where it shouldn't have.

The lines should start with a "#" if it's a comment, "deb" if it's a
source of binary packages or "deb-src" if it's a source of source
packages.

Fix it, save it. Try Synaptic again.

Cheers,
Al.
