Steven, I am going to jump the gun here,
since you are not able to send your /etc/apt/sources.list
to us, I am guessing that the malfunctioned line is your ppa repository.
Just comment out all lines with ppa repositories.


explanations:
you now have karmic, use that to explore kde 4.3, you dont want to mess 
with jaunty. keep it working.
to edit the sources.list, type
kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list
to comment out the ppa repositories, add a # in front of the ppa lines 
and save.
then do this
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
