I didn't know where else to put this. I apologize if I have it in the wrong place.
I added this to my /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian maverick non-free
W: Failed to fetch http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualb ... ck/Release Unable to find expected entry non-free/source/Sources in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
Thank you,
Dekthor

Re: Ubuntu 10.10 repo Error (malformed Release file?)
Version 3.2.10 is due out today and probably will fix your problem as well. I know the 10.10 downloads were made available last week in 3.2.8 but I don't believe they made it to repo. Let us know if this does not fix your problem in a day or two.

Hi dekthor, Perryg,

Re: Ubuntu 10.10 repo Error (malformed Release file?)
Hi dekthor,
I think I have the solution to this error. Check your sources.list; you'll probably find these two lines:
Remove the second line (since there's no source repo to the PUEL edition), and run apt-get again.
