[SOLVED] Ubuntu - Synaptic Package Manager

[JackintheBox]

When I try to run package manager I get the error

E: Type 'sudo' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.
Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

Any ideas how to correct it?
Help would be appreciated

Hi and Welcome !

First line in /etc/apt/sources.list file is incorrect. Put # sign before it.
Press Alt+F2 and type this

gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

It will open sources.list file in Gedit with root privileges.
Put # sign in before first line and save file.
Execute sudo apt-get update command.
In case it doesn't work, post the contents of sources.list file here.
