updates not working


Hi guys!:

When I try to update I get this ugly message in synaptic:

http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...gutsy/Release: Unable to find expected entry web/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...dates/Release: Unable to find expected entry web/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...urity/Release: Unable to find expected entry web/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)

I get the same even if I switch to a different set of repositories and back to mine. Needless to say that I did not changed anything in my /etc/apt/sources.list and this issue started spontaneously with no my intervention.

I'll appreciate if someone can give me a clue on what is happening. I'll be more than happy to post any needed information to help to solve this issue.

Thanks a lot!

OOPS!

Auto-reply: It seems this is a corrupted sources.list (web...???) due to a bug in update manager!, so I corrected it manually and everything went fine as usually.

Thanks guys!
