Bug Description
OK I was using the terminal trying to install the new pidgin from their website, following their instructions, which were as follows:...
1)*sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.
2)*echo deb http://
3)* sudo tee /etc/apt/
When I tried the second command, the terminal froze, so I killed the window (" 'with the 'force to quit command' "), And then I tried doing it again, following the steps, but once again it did not work, so I just bailed. After I got mad, I tried to run the update-manager, and the following happened...
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:Type 's' is not known on line 5 in source list /etc/apt/
so here I am!
This appear in message/warning a window, and it did not let me use the program, instead it jus close the application.
So anyway, I hope you guys can help me!
Thanks.

Never mind, I just delete the file /etc/apt/ sources. lis.d/pidgin- ppa.list
and then run the update-manager again, and It's working!
Thanks anyway!
