Title:
  Sources list can't be read.  Some syntax error and I cannot find it.
  Can't get to Soft Ware Center

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package
  information.

  
  Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:

  
  'E:Opening /etc/apt/sources.list.d/private-ppa.launchpad.net_commercial-ppa-uploaders_fluendo-dvd_ubuntu.list - ifstream::ifstream (13: Permission denied)'

  I have tried to spot the error in both repository and software sources
  and sources list.d.  And I cannot find the syntactical error.  I tried
  commenting  in both repository and soft ware sources, and that didn't
  work. I uninstalled the package through Synaptic, and  I still
  couldn't get to Software Center. And then the notice was given to
  report the bug.  This is a commercial app I purchased, the media
  player, from canonical.

  Ubuntu 11.10, fluendo media player, I can't get to Software package to
  find exact name.  I expected to be able to strighten out the syntax,
  but it is beyond me.  I found out about this "syntactical error" when
  I was using Ailurus.  And the instructions pointed out the error and
  expected me to be able to correct the syntax.  I'm not yet that
  familiar with computers that I could act on this.
