Hi Al, I looked at the sources file. I had made a mistake as I had written deb http//: whereas I should have written deb http://
I corrected the line and then went to software sources and corrected there the package source. However I am still getting the malformed line 55 report. I rechecked the sources list and this now skows the corrected source ie deb http:// Why should this be?
