apt-get unable to read sources.list

[Shirish Agarwal]

Hi all,
        I installed ubuntu 7.04 beta through the alternate-CD. I checked the CD for defects beforehand & it went smoothly. I installed the system & everything booted normally. Now I checked with sources to update, with the Indian server it doesn't download the package lists, with the main server (american) it downloads the package list & shows the no. of updates needed to get but hangs there. My original /etc/sources.list is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12953/plain/ then after advice from people on the chat channel modified to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12968/ but I'm not able to update. I get a constant error message even if I change the server from India to main (US, I guess) or vice-versa. The error message is as under :-

A error occured, please run package manager from the right-click menu or apt-get on a terminal to see what is wrong

The error message was : "Error:Opening the cache(E:Type '??' is not known on line 1 in sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list, E: The list of sources could not be read.)

Now please lemme know what/where I'm going wrong. Thnx in advance.
