This is why it is better to copy-paste commands instead of trying to type them manually.

You avoid typing mistakes that way.

Please copy-paste this command into the Terminal:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/arc-theme.list

Replace dep with deb in that file.

Save the change using the gedit editor.
