@Bob: First, to fix this error type:- sudo sed -ie "s/^\s*main.*$//g" /etc/apt/sources.list
It is important that the first line you type is all on one line (I think that launchpad may have cut it in half), instead type these four lines but make sure that you DONT SPLIT ANY OF THE LINES (Each time there is a new line the Terminal reads that as a new command). # LINE 1 SRCLINE="deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-proposed restricted main multiverse universe" # ^^^^ ALL ON ONE LINE!!! ^^^^ # LINE 2 echo "$SRCLINE" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list # LINE 3 sudo apt-get update # LINE 4 sudo aptitude -t jaunty-proposed install libical0 Also my apologies, I should have anticipated this. -- don't crash on incorrect values or errors https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/368508 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
