Update Manager Error Ubuntu 12.04

Asked by Alejandro Da Lozzo

After installing Libreoffice 3.6.1, I had the following problem.

"Failed to initialize the package information

Had a problem impossible to correct when initializing the package information.

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

'E: Type' b-src "known on line 1 in source list / etc / apt / sources.list.d / libreoffice-libreoffice-prereleases-precise.list '"

Can you give the output of:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/libreoffice-libreoffice-prereleases-precise.list; lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

Hi ,

It tells you where is the mistake.

""E: Type' b-src "known on line 1 in source list / etc / apt / sources.list.d / libreoffice-libreoffice-prereleases-precise.list '"""

So you must open this file and correct the mistake.

'b-src' is not right.

The correct is 'deb-src'

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/libreoffice-libreoffice-prereleases-precise.list
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

and change 'b-src' to 'deb-src'

Thanks

The covergloobus PPA doesn't support support Precise so is no value to you and should be removed. If you also run:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out the top 3 lines (referencing the CD media) then you will not get the errors you are seeing.

I removed covergloobus PPA.
I removed the top 3 lines referencing the CD media.
But I still get the same error:

The action may require the installation of packages from unauthenticated sources.

Hi ,

I am not sure but i think this is another problem from your original.

Open a terminal and run this commands with order. It will be better to copy them from here and paste to terminal for more accuracy.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-key update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

and give here any errors

Thanks
