You have a corrupt entry in your /etc/apt/sources.list referring to a deb-src for some reason, hunt that down in the file and comment it out.

Or you can post your file here and I can find it for you.

Thank you for your reply it was as easy as you said to find and eliminate and I learned
quite abit about ppa's once I started nosing around in the correct place. Linux is enjoyable.
The more your learn about the command line and it's power and speed.
Well you already know.
