After trying to help myself with this problem I have not found a solution.
Here is the message I get when I open Synaptic: W: Unable to read /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ - DirectoryExists (2: No such file or directory)
W: Unable to read /etc/apt/sources.list - RealFileExists (2: No such file or directory)
W: Unable to read /etc/apt/preferences.d/ - DirectoryExists (2: No such file or directory)
I have tried recreating them with mkdir but it will not and I have tried retrieving it from my backup but it will not. Any suggestions? Thank you.
