You can do one of two things here - either edit the file manually - 
lines in there should have either deb, deb-src or # at the beginning - 
nothing else. It's likely that the whole thing is wrong.

The other option is to remove that file and redo the procedure to add 
medibuntu - either run nautilus as root - gksudo nautilus 
/etc/apt/sources.list.d

and remove the file from there or do it from the command line - sudo rm 
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list


Then re acquire the medibuntu repos using the command here -
