** Description changed: Binary package hint: nautilus update manager fails to fetch cdrom:[Ubuntu-Studio 8.10 _Intrepid Ibex_ - Release amd64 (20081028)]/pool/main/m/mawk/mawk_1.3.3-11.1ubuntu1_amd64.deb. And, I cannot delete my effort to install UbuntuStudio, desktop, 64 AMD.iso so I could then install Ubuntu 8.10 desktop 64 AMD.iso or to simply go back to Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy Herron and allow the auto update function to occasionally prompt me to update and be able to do that. When I run update manager, this message pops out: "Can't install 'ubuntu-desktop' "It was impossible to install a required package. Please report this as a bug. Could not calculate the upgrade "A unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. Then, this analysis follows: "This can be caused by: + + Hi, I've documented a solution that used "deb http://ubuntu-bug apt-get" in which I went to + "E: Malformed line 75 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) + E: The list of sources could not be read. + Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem. + E: _cache->open() failed, please report. + + then used a work around problem: + An error resulted as follows: "E: Type 'sudo' is not known on line 57 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list + E: The list of sources could not be read. + Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem. + E: _cache->open() failed, please report. + The message told me what is wrong, to repair the problem press Alt-F2 and type: + Code: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [Entered password when prompted.

I did a file browser report as follows: "/home/k78724/cache /home/k78724/Desktop /home/k78724/Documents /home/k78724/drupal-6.9 /home/k78724/dwhelper /home/k78724/Examples /home/k78724/firefox /home/k78724/install_flash_player_9_linux /home/k78724/iP1500 /home/k78724/PDF /home/k78724/Pictures /home/k78724/Public /home/k78724/Templates /home/k78724/Videos /home/k78724/-- /home/k78724/bjfilter-common-2.50-2.i386.rpm /home/k78724/bjfilter-common-2.50-2.src.rpm /home/k78724/bjfilter-pixmaip1500-2.50-2.i386.rpm /home/k78724/bjfilter-pixmaip1500-lprng-2.50-2.i386.rpm /home/k78724/getlibs-all.deb /home/k78724/skype-install.deb /home/k78724/z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh" so I will try the update manager [and/or install] again later... my email is koy...@gmail.com... thanks, Kenneth
