I can confirm this issue in Gutsy completely updated. This happen not
only when line starts with db instead of deb (as described by Richard
Johnson) but also when lines are not completed or contain errors in the
URL.

** Changed in: adept (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed

** Summary changed:

- i tried to add repositories to adept and now it wont launch...
+ Adept should handle invalid repositories more gracefully

** Description changed:

- i tried to add repositories to adept and now it wont launch...
+ I tried to add repositories to adept and now it wont launch...
  This is the message i get when launching it.. 
  
- the apt database could not be opened! this may be cause by incorrect apt
- configuration or some similar problem. Try using apt setup and apt-get
- update in terminal and see if that resolves the problem.
+ "the apt database could not be opened! this may be cause by incorrect
+ apt configuration or some similar problem. Try using apt setup and apt-
+ get update in terminal and see if that resolves the problem."
+ 
+ Same message appears when the repositories listed in
+ /etc/apt/sources.list are not valid (e.g. because they contains typing
+ errors)
  
  Thanks
