This is the message I got when ever I open the update-manager.

An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.

Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:

'E:Type 'ain' is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/am-monkeyd-nautilus-elementary-ppa-natty.list'

Open the specified file:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/am-monkeyd-nautilus-elementary-ppa-natty.list

and check line 3 as specified. You can comment it out or delete the 'ain' from the line.

To comment it out, just add the character # before line 3.

Save and Close.

HTH.

I did what you said, but found that file is empty. As i save it, and starts update-manager again, it gives following message:

An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.

Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:

'W:Ignoring file 'am-monkeyd-nautilus-elementary-ppa-' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has no filename extension, E:Type 'ain' is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/am-monkeyd-nautilus-elementary-ppa-natty.list'

Please visit the following URL using a webbrowser instead of using the Email client:

https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+question/161236

I suspect that the WRONG command (gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/am-monkeyd-nautilus-elementary-ppa-) was entered, because your Email client cut the correct command into pieces....

Please compare the incorrect command in your Email client with the correct command at the following URL and try again:
