Bug Description

I was trying to make sure Abiword is completely up to date and used the terminal commands on a wiki page (can't remember the exact page) -

Got this message and Update Manager is not working now...

" Error: Opening the cache (E:Malformed line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/abiword-stable.list (dist parse), E:The list of sources could not be read.) "

You might want to look at the file, '/etc/apt/source.list.d/abiword-stable.list', indicated in the error message and ensure that it is properly formatted.
