There is a problem on line 60 of the file /etc/apt/sources.list -- i'm guessing it has a "sudo" written in there and it shouldn't.

You can open source.list by running "gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list", after entering your password, click on Search then "Go to Line Number", enter 60.

Verify that the line doesn't looks like the other lines starting with deb or deb-src most likely. If you can't figure it out you could just put a "#" at the front of the line and it will be ignored.

If you can't figure it out you could paste your sources.list into a reply and we could have a look at it.

Best of luck.

Can you help with this problem?
