The Ubuntu release 8.04 Hardy Heron is not supported any more. Support for the desktop version ended May 12, 2011 (the server version on May 9, 2013).

You should upgrade to a supported version (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases ). In case you doubt that your hardware is capable of running the current Ubuntu releases, you might consider Xubuntu or Lubuntu.

And to indicate what was the cause of the "Malformed line" error messages:
There is a field missing in the last-but-one line of your sources.list configuration file.
Deleting the line "deb http://webersys.powweb.com/ubuntu binary" would repair your sources.list syntactically. Still that will not help as the Ubuntu servers do not contain the hardy packages any more.

And a workaround for openPGP error messages might be found in http://webersys.powweb.com/ubuntu/hardyAptGet.htm
