Update Manager getting error message due caffeine install

[james0658]

Hello, I seem to be getting this message after trying to install updates on mint 12 Lisa,

Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/caffeine-devel ... id/Release Unable to find expected entry 'deb-src/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Now I removed Caffeine from Synaptic Package Manager, but I'm still getting an error message in the Update manager. I then went into terminal and ran Sudo apt-get remove caffeine, but since I removed it it told me it can't remove it because it is not installed.

Please HELP!
Thanks

The problem is not the application you had installed, and now removed, the problem is that you had added a PPA for this application and that PPA has a problem. See section two, item 1, here for what a PPA is: http://forum.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=97158

To remove it, either manually remove this PPA and its key from Software Sources, or you can do so more easily with ppa-purge. To install ppa-purge and remove your offending PPA, do the following from the command line (the last line does an update which now should go fine):

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:caffeine-developers/ppa
sudo apt-get update

thank you very much that worked but now I installed wine and I'm getting this message. I suspect I need to purge that too.lol

Edgy Eft is Ubuntu 6.10, like from October 2006 No clue why you would want to use a Wine version from that repository. Why not just install Wine from the Software Manager so you at least have a somewhat up to date version?

So yeah, remove this PPA the same way
