Question #78814 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78814

Tom proposed the following answer:
Ahh brilliant.  Floris has the right answer i think :)  I was struggling
there.  So in a terminal console type

cd /etc/apt
ls
sudo cp sources.list sources.list.010809
ls
sudo gedit sources.list

the sudo asks for your normal user password, not your SuperUser/Root
one.  The "ls" is a lower-case "LS" and shows a LiSt of what's in the
folder.  Hopefully the 2nd time you will see that "cp" has created a
CoPy of "sources.list" in case editing it goes wrong..  The "sudo gedit"
opens the text-editor gedit with SuperUser rights so that you can edit
and save the file but you could just post the contents of "source.list"
into here and let us see what's gone wrong.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
