[Bug 927987] Re: E:Malformed line 45 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)

[Brian Murray]

There is something incorrect in line 45 of the file
/etc/apt/sources.list, this is something you will need to investigate
manually and resolve.  The sources.list file is a collection of
locations from which to install software and if update-manager isn't
able to figure out what is in there then it can not work.  If you need
more help resolving this issue I'd use either the ubuntu forums or
askubuntu.com.  Thanks!
