Ubuntu Update Manager crippled...Help !

Dear Abi Word Folk,

I used the command lines suggested on the linked Ubuntu Abiword page in order to make absolutely sure my Abiword is up to date, but this has resulted in the following error message, and it has also crashed my Ubuntu Update Manager, and the synchronisation for date & time -

I *HAVE* filed a bug report at Launchpad five or six days ago but have heard NOTHING.....

Here is the error message that came up at the last stage of the 4-step Wiki-suggested command line prompts - (It seems to me from reading this that the Ubuntu list may not be properly formatted and this may have caused the glitch - I am using the latest stable release of Ubuntu as given away in last month's (or August's) edition of Linux Format magazine in the (not-so) U.K.):

' Error: Opening the cache(E:Malformed line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/abiword-stable.list (dist parse), E:The list of sources could not be read.) '

Any help would be appreciated - because, as I say, my update manager is now not working, nor the synchronisation of date/time...

Thank you in advance,

- mehermuchacho
