You didn't give the output of the command.

Can you give the output of:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list | head -n 54 | tail -n 1

If you don't give the information we need, we can't help you. USING CAPS HELPS NOTHING AND IS HARDER TO READ SO DON'T BOTHER AND TYPE IN LOWER CASE

ok i went to Applications,Accessories,Terminal and copied the output and
pasted it and this is what back:
deb http:// packages.medibuntu.org/ gutsy free
