Asked by Dan

i tried to add the medibuntu repositories and now i cant get synaptic or update manager to start.
this is what i typed (sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -o /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list)
now this is the error i get when i start synaptic
E: type '--22:01:20--' is not known on line 1 in source list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
