@Marc. Thanks for clearing up my question on the security issue.  I found a 
temporary work around.  Since the link in the Gnome menu was broken and also in 
synaptic, I found a terminal command, which opens the source file in a Gedit 
window. the command is:
"sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.lst"
It's just a command that opens the sources list file like a text file, and you 
can manually erase any broken links. I knew a specific source was broken 
because I was getting an error on the system tray which was an exclamation mark 
icon.  Trying to run an update resulted with the exact broken souce, I just 
copied and searched in the sources.lst file for that address and removed it, 
then saved the file and closed the window. Now an update can be run without any 
broken link errors.

Trying to fix a broken repository. Clicking "software sources" from 
administration menu doesn't do anything, and also Repositories from the 
Synaptic menu doesn't do anything either.
