Software not updating from repositories!!??

[SaddleTramp]

I made a perl script that:
- Can detect and fix any launchpad PPA link in /etc/apt/sources.list
- Backs up the original /etc/apt/sources.list as /etc/apt/sources.list.backup
- Imports GPG keys for the links detected in /etc/apt/sources.list

Requirements:
- Administrative privileges
- Perl
- Internet connection
- HTML::Parser


Open a terminal Applications>accesories>terminal & paste this sudo apt-get install libhtml-parser-perl
mkdir gpg-fix && cd gpg-fix
( Copy & paste all of the blue text )

add password when asked ( keep terminal open, )
then paste in
tar xzvf change.tar.gz press enter,( keep terminal open & copy and paste the following )

perl ./*.pl
cd ..
rm -Rf gpg-fix

sudo apt-get update ( wait for a while while it gets the keys ) coffee yum ....then press enter when it shows apt get update

Hey Nick, when I try this there's nothing in the gpg-fix directory to tar (tar xzvf change.tar.gz)...what's suppose to be there?? I already tried in your other post the site where what's his name did the fix that worked for him, but that didn't solve the errors I'm getting...I believe if I had whatever is suppose to be in the gpg-fix directory it would work..but don't know what that's suppose to be....

I'm not impressed either. You are a Moderator, so Moderate(In other words find the solution and post the answer here).
