Why do you have Xenial in your sources.list file when you are running Precise? What have you been doing on this system?

Why is the Xenial CD mentioned as a package source on Precise?
What are you trying to do? You cannot upgrade from Precise directly to Xenial, you will get a broken system. You need to upgrade to Trusty first, then to Xenial.

Issue the command
sudo gedit /etc/apt/
This should ask for your password as confirmation of an administrative action, and then open an editor with the sources.list configuration file loaded.
Scroll down to line 35 and delete that line ("deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 16.04 LTS _Xenial Xerus_...")
Scroll down to the very end and delete the last two lines (those containing xenial).
In the (now) last line replace lucid by precise.
Then save the file and close the editor.
Finally issue the command
sudo apt-get update
and copy/paste all output into this question document.

This looks ok. No error, and I assume that you do not see any error sign in the notification area any more.
If you do not see any problem any more, and do not have any further question, you might mark this question document as 'solved'.

Thanks Manfred Hampl, that solved my question.
