Ubuntu 8.10 error

rgautreaux4 · 04-05-2009, 11:23 PM

I'm getting this error when I try to uninstall wine through terminal:

~$ sudo apt-get remove wine
E: Type '--2009-04-05' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.

Can anyone help me please?

Can you remove it with the package manager?

This error comes up:

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 '--2009-04-05' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list, E:The list of sources could not be read.'

You can check Ubuntu's bug report and see if it's been filed, otherwise file a new bug.

You should only need to remove line 1 from /winehq.list, the '--2009-04-05'.

Code:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list

CTRL+X and press 'Y' when prompted to save. Run apt-get remove again.
