I am using ubuntu 10.10 and the problem started when I tried to run:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnuzilla-team/ppa
when following instructions in this place:
https://launchpad.net/~gnuzilla-team/+archive/ppa
and when I run: "sudo apt-get update" I get following error:
~$ sudo apt-get update
[sudo] password for user1:
E: Type 'n' is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
