"Encountering 'The list of sources could not be read' Error Due to Malformed Entry in sources.list.d File"

I'm encountering an error message when trying to update my package sources using sudo apt update . The error message I'm seeing is:

kindly pleas help me to solve this problem.

The error message is telling you there is an error on line 3 of the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/archive_uri-https_cloud_r-project_org_bin_linux_ubuntu-jammy.list which someone with sudo rights has added to your system.

We're limited to details you provide, and don't know what is on line 3 of that file, but whomever added it probably made a mistake; so check the contents of the file & correct.

Question also asked at apt - How do I remove a malformed line from my sources.list? - Ask Ubuntu
