Public bug reported:
If one enters a malformed repository into Synaptic's software sources
list (say you mistype the path, for example), Syanptic becomes unusable
because the first it does when launched is look up the software sources,
which generates the error:
E: Malformed line xx in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (URI 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.
The dialog only offers a "Close" button, which shuts Synaptic down.
