  • Could you [edit] your question to include the contents of `ros-latest.list`? This will make it easier to see why there is a "malformed entry" error. – matigo Feb 03 '22 at 08:03

  • There was no Ubuntu release in 2018-May (ie. 18.05). Major releases are *year.month* in format, with some *specialist* releases using the *year* format; your 18.05 is likely a typo, but ensure you're actually using Ubuntu as there was no May release in 2018. – guiverc Feb 03 '22 at 08:14

Running the following command will fix this issue:

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'

Here is a bug report for the same.
