Sometimes, when I run

sudo apt-get update

or install an app

sudo apt-get install

I get the error below at the bottom in the gnome-terminal and I can't remove it. I searched for it in the software-sources and in y-ppa-manager and I am not sure I want to mess with the sources list since I am a bit of a noob.
