It says line 54 is broken, So you have to repair that line. Open Teminal and run gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list Find above line, you can use Ctrl+F Replace the line with following

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ quantal partner

save and quit the editor. Run sudo apt-get update Tell us how it worked out. cheers..!
