The error seems to be in another file, please execute

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-mozilla-daily-ppa-oneiric.list

and copy/paste all output as done before

Manfred Hampl is right.I overlooked that.

Thank you Manfred.

Here is the output:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-mozilla-daily-ppa-oneiric.list
# deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu oneiric main #Ubuntu Mozilla Daily Build Team PPA
tu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu oneiric main

The information in that file is not in correct format.

I think the easieset way to solve that problem is by just deleting the file with the terminal command

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-mozilla-daily-ppa-oneiric.list

You have to enter your password requested to do so, but note that you will not get any feedback when typing the password (no echo, not even '*' placeholders).

If you need the 'bleeding edge' version of the programs from the 'Firefox and Thunderbird daily builds' PPA you should re-add that PPA with the terminal command

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa

Thank you for the help. Update Manager works again.
