I have just installed Celena, when I tried to use Envy it said dependencies were missing so I downloaded them and it worked, then I opened Synaptic package manager and this came up
E: Type ‘“deb’ is not known on line 39 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.
Go to the repository dialogue to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
What do I have to do to correct this as it has me stumped.

Re: Synaptic
How about doing *exactly* as the error message tells you to? You see, error messages on Linux are pretty precise. No hexadecimal BS as in Windows. Linux tells you *precisely* where and what the problem is, OK? So let's read that error message of your's again and what does it say? ==> Line 39 of your /etc/apt/sources.list is corrupted. So whatever entry is there on line 39 ... it's wrong.alan2273 wrote: E: Type ‘“deb’ is not known on line 39 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list

So how about posting that file here so we could take a look?
We'll then help you with the "correct the problem" part the error message mentions

Maybe It could be that the problem comes from the word deb. In the message we can see:
If you have really this kind of punctuation in line 39 of your /etc/apt/sources.list I advise you to remove it. Just: deb or deb-src are correct not ‘“deb’
‘“deb'.... not knownE: Type ‘“deb’ is not known on line 39 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list

Maybe there are more errors. And he probably copy & pasted that line from somewhere. That's why I'd prefer if he posted the entire file instead of "repairing" just that line ...linuxviolin wrote:Maybe It could be that the problem comes from the word deb.
