Have you tried loading up the /etc/apt/sources.list into a text editor
to see what's wrong with that line?  If you're not sure what it's
supposed to be, you could always post the contents of
/etc/apt/sources.list here and someone can tell you how to fix it.  It's
possible that line 62 of your sources.list may not be the same as
everyone else's, so that's why we need to see the contents of yours.
