Could not initialize the package information

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:Opening /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bhdouglass-indicator-remindor-precise.list - ifstream::ifstream (13: Permission denied)'

I installed 12.04 from thumb drive then used deja-dup to restore /home to new hard drive then followed "http://www.matthartley.com/how-to-backup-your-ubuntu-software/" to restore software.
