Well sir, I tried to get the /etc/apt/sources.list through terminal but in vain. I am not a expert really but a simple user really. I beg for your pardon and request your magnanimity to show a solution to my trouble got myself with useless enthusiasm to try at the code found in our forum!!

In the terminal.. and you can copy/paste..
Code:
cat /etc/apt/sources.listThe use your mouse to swipe and highlight the contents - right click to copy then paste into you response (you can use the # icon to make it "code" -- swipe the contents prior)

Re: Unable to get updates--error occured - Valtam - 03-26-2020
This is your error:
“ndeb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main”
remove that line and save the file.
Then get what you need from here - https://sourceforge.net/projects/ubuntuzilla/files/ubuntuzilla/4.8.4/
Re: Unable to get updates--error occured - Narender Rao - 03-26-2020
Sir, How to remove the erroneous line and add the correct one? Please guide me! Thanks in advance !!
Re: Unable to get updates--error occured - Narender Rao - 03-26-2020
Got it sir...just I googled across ubuntu forums and got the etc/apt/list edited by using terminal text editor program nano by removing the erroneous "ndeb...."line entirely and saving it. got the updates also.
Thank You Please !!
