Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-
After clean install of Ubuntu 7.04 Beta (i386 alternate), update-manager ran and downloaded some package from the net and prompted me to insert CD-ROM to install updated. I didn't want to install packages from CD-ROM, I then clicked "cancel" and wanted to remove CD-ROM from the source.list by using "software sources" application to only specify internet as package source.
I Couldn't find how to remove CD-ROM from the selection in software-
update-manager wouldn't start and displayed the following error;
"Could not initialize the package information
A unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.
Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:
'E:Malformed line 4 in source list /etc/apt/
After commenting out line 4 of /etc/apt/
Here are the first 8 lines of /etc/apt/
1:#
2:# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 7.04 _Feisty Fawn_ - Beta i386 (20070322.2)]/ feisty main restricted
3:
4:deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 7.04 _Feisty Fawn_ - Beta i386 (20070322.2)]/ feisty
5:# See http://
6:# newer versions of the distribution.

it seems the line 4 misses "main restricted" at the end of the line. Also it's strange that line 4 seems to be the same as lthe commented line 2 except for the missing "main restricted". This /etc/apt/
Mar 31 Update: I re-installed Ubuntu 7.04 beta and made a backup of the /etc/apt/
