Hi all,<br>I&#39;m new to Linux, ROS, etc, but am making a valiant effort to come up to speed.<br><br>When installing in 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) I get the following error:<br><br>&quot;E: Malformed line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list (dist)&quot;<br>

<br>when running the command:<br><br>&quot;sudo apt-get update&quot;<br><br>When I navigate to the directory and open the list I see:<br><br>deb <a href="http://code.ros.org/packages/ros/ubuntu/lucid/main" target="_blank">http://code.ros.org/packages/ros/ubuntu/lucid/main</a><br>

<br>which seems harmless enough to me.<br><br>Does anyone know what&#39;s going on?  I&#39;m paranoid that it&#39;s going to be something simple so I apologize in advance.  I did read many, many articles and such before posting, but I&#39;m coming up empty.<br>

<br>Thank you!<br><font color="#888888"><br>-Bill<br><br><br><br>
