I followed the fix found in this thread ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=179303 ). The person in the thread, though, seemed to reexperience the problem after a short while, but so far I have not.

The fix is just to back up sources.list, delete everything in it and run "apt-get update". After the update replace sources.list with the backup and run "apt-get update" again. You should not get the error then.
