I added a repository by going to the package manager and editing repository.

Now I get

Re: [*SOLVED*] Editing repository

Please

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

and post the results here.  We'll get this fixed for you in a jiffy.

EDIT:  By the way, you can edit the sources list in a  terminal with

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

^ +1 Pvsage ...

Can't tell what repo you're trying to add there. Not that matters ... guess, am sure Pvsage's advice will at the very least get you back on track.

Anything Afroman ... for comic rap. As mentioned "because I got high" being a really funny one imo.  Errr ... ya can't go wrong w those knuckleheads ... "colt 45" hard to pick, try a few.

Some common cbiz abbreviations. This will save me time and yet @ same time tell folks what the babble is supposed to mean.

Vll ! = ( Viva la gnu/Linux !)    Vl#!! = ( Viva la #! !)    Last but not least, UD ... OD ! = ( Use Debian ... or die !)

Re: [*SOLVED*] Editing repository

@mikecella: All you have to do is add a space between "/debian/" and stable

This is how you have:

deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/stable non-free

This is how should be:

deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free

Then type in a terminal

sudo apt-get update

Re: [*SOLVED*] Editing repository

I would even remove the Skype entry, no need for that. Install Skype from their site, the .deb file for Debian and your architecture. AFAIK this repo is mentioned too many times and contains an older version of Skype.

Re: [*SOLVED*] Editing repository

After editing the repo in Terminal I ran sudo apt-get update and got:

deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free
404 Error

ivanovnegro, I'm going to take your advice and remove the skype repo and download it from there site.

Thank you all for all of the help.

Thanks, MIke
