This is a major failure of your software management system. Please check for broken packages with synaptic, check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information with: 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f'.

E: Type '--15:19:24--' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.

This is a question, not a bug report.
Please remove /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list and run 'apt-get update', then retry the procedure (the website is currently down, so not immediately)

Cheers
