problems with dpkg, apt-get, sources-list

Hi,

I'm encountering several things with dkpg, apt and the sources list. I'm running BT5 R3 on a dedicated laptop and hdd. See below for what I encounter:

1. Some source libraries don't load and update.

Code:

---

root@bt:~# apt-get update

snip....

W: Failed to fetch http://updates.repository.backtrack-linux.org/dists/revolution/Release  Unable to find expected entry 'main/source/Sources' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

W: Failed to fetch http://64.repository.backtrack-linux.org/dists/revolution/Release  Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

---

2. Errors with apt-get upgrade. Probably because of the problems with the sources libraries.

Code:

---

root@bt:~# apt-get upgrade

I have been trying several things, but can find something to repair this. So any help is appreciated.

From the first error I can tell that you have altered your source.list.

OK. I get it. I ****ed the BT distro up by accepting the upgrade to Precise Pangolin. Stupid, not seeing that. I'll reinstall everything and sorry for wasting your time.
