Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: update-manager

'E:Malformed line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin-
ppa.list (dist parse), E:The list of sources could not be read.'

I had a problem with Pidgin. In order to enable updates for Pidgin, I
ran:

  sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com \
      67265eb522bdd6b1c69e66ed7fb8bee0a1f196a8
  . /etc/lsb-release
  echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu \
      $DISTRIB_CODENAME main | \
      sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin-ppa.list 

After I did this, the update manager started giving me this error.
