Software Sources Will Not Work

[alligoodw]

Using Linux Mint 15, when I click on Software Sources nothing happens. Something has happen with my Software Sources list. How do I correct this problem? What happen with the program that opens and views my sources?

Is package software-sources installed? Try to run it in a Terminal.

Usually you can fix the lists in a Terminal as well in /etc/apt/sources.list or the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

When I run 'software-sources' in the terminal nothing happens. It hangs for a couple of seconds and return the cursor to me. Although I can view the sources.list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d, I wouldn't have a clue in how to fix it. I'm not sure what is preventing mintsources from launching as it should. I'm baffled this is for sure.
