Don't worry. It's not a problem with your sources.list file. It's a critical bug of Adept that causes this problem. The bug is described here https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121456. I hope that could be fixed soon.

there is no solution there yet but it is the trouble that I am having thank you is there any thing that I could try in the mean time

I already tried everything they did still same error message

ok the last update that I forced fixed the error message that I have been getting and allowed me into adept however when I try to install a program any program I get (There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages. ) any ideas

Any particular reason to use Gutsy?
If not you should install Feisty, Gutsy its still well before release (Tribe 2 is out soon) so it should not be used if not for debugging.
