There is garbage at the end of the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dell-mini.list

Open a terminal and issue the command

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dell-mini.list

This will ask for your password and then open an editor window with that file loaded.
Scroll down to the second line (containg "Warn") and delete the whole line.
Save the file and close the editor.

Remark: I do not know the status of dell-mini, but for normal desktops the 'hardy' release has already been declared end of live.

Can you help with this problem?
