Hello m r craven,

It seems something wrong with the file of ubuntu-mozilla-daily-ppa-lucid.list on line 2. Please check it out.

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-mozilla-daily-ppa-lucid.list

Then check on line 2.

It supposed to be like this one:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu lucid main #Ubuntu Mozilla Daily Build Team PPA

On my Ubuntu, it just one line like the above.
