Messed up with Sources.list and preference list!

[ashfaq]

ok, first try, let's see if this does it or not:

Code: Select all

apt install software-properties-common

and let us know

Well, pasted that command, 'properties installed' but no change in synaptic behavior! I wonder what has caused it 'Not to display the Repositories" No way we can re-install it to take up the present configuration!

I for got to paste the output, here it is:-
ashfaq@naktasher ~ $ sudo apt install software-properties-common
[sudo] password for ashfaq:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package software-properties-common
ashfaq@naktasher ~ $

Would love a fix for this issue.

Getting Synaptic to accurately reflect the sources.list file, thus being able to edit the file from synaptic as intented.

Thanks!
