list of sources cannot be read

Asked by Nathan Garcia

I attempted to install the medibuntu package (im new to ubuntu and linux in general for that matter), but before i could add the GPG key as it states in the adding repositories section of the medibuntu documentation, an error message was displayed stating:

Error: Opening the cache (E:Type '--20:26:29--' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list, E:The list of sources could not be read.)

is there any way to alleviate my problem, because my Package Manager wont even run as a result of all of this and i'm completely lost as to how to even troubleshoot any of this. I'm on ubuntu 8.04 Hardy and thats what sources.list i tried to use, so i dont see how that could have posed a problem and at this point, i just want to start over on the installation, but i have no idea how to go about any of it.
