    when i type ```sudo apt-get remove --purge `dpkg --get-selections | awk '/i386/{print $1}'` ``` it says: ```E: Malformed entry 62 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list (Component) E: The list of sources could not be read. E: Malformed entry 62 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list (Component) E: The list of sources could not be read. ``` – MG.killergamer. 007 Jan 04 '22 at 18:42

    Read your output: Fix the 'malformed entry' error, then try again. If you don't understand what the 'malformed entry' error means or how to fix it, see https://askubuntu.com/questions/78951 – user535733 Jan 04 '22 at 18:58

  • but when i type sudo apt update it shows me an error: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock. It is held by process 3028 (aptd) N: Be aware that removing the lock file is not a solution and may break your system. E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/ – MG.killergamer. 007 Jan 04 '22 at 19:07

    If you try the error text in the 'Search' box at the top of the page, it will suggest https://askubuntu.com/questions/15433. Advice: Learn the habit of looking up errors. We will happily help with obscure or unusual errors, but the problems you have encountered so far are very common new-user learning experiences. – user535733 Jan 04 '22 at 19:10
