Adding package sources fails saying "http://http not found


When I try to add software sources (specifically those for Scratchbox, but I get the same error with everything), I get an error message: "http://http not found". Obviously that is not a valid APT line and I have no idea what it is doing in my software sources. How do I take it out?

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/some-file.

Please do

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

And if you have a non valid line, comment it out
with a hash ( # ) like :

# deb http://http...............
