How are you opening /etc/apt/sources.list, with kate?
You will need to use "kdesudo kate" to open and edit the file manually.

please open it with kate, and paste the contents in your reply here

Most likely you mis-typed a line when you added a new repository. 
Sometimes you can see the error by looking at the third-party repository 
section in kpackagekit, but your error is telling you the *exact* line 
that it can't understand so kate is probably the easier tool
