Thanks for reporting this issue and making Ubuntu better. This seems to
be a problem with either the file that provides the links to the
repositories (sources.list) or some other files related to the upgrading
process. This may have been caused by the manual installation you tried.
If you have still this issue it could be convenient to convert this
report to a question so that you can get support on how to solve it,
otherwise please kindly ignore this message.

software-center crashes after skype install, error message during

did not find skype in the software center, so followed the process here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-skype-in-ubuntu-12-04precise.html
this is the process: sudo apt-add-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner"
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype
There was an error during the install, did not capture the install, and the software center, which was running, crashed. since then, the software center launches but crashes after about 5 second, with the following error message: "Could not initialize the package information
An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.
Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:
'E:Malformed line 57 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)'"
the last line was part of the command line skype install error message
Skype did install successfully in that it ran, connected, etc. after
the software center continued to crash, i apt-get purge'd skype,
which, of course, did not change the crashing behavior.
