When I run sudo apt-get update I get these errors:

E: Type 'See' is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
E: Type 'dep' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/upubuntu-com-tor64-saucy.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.

This means that the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/upubuntu-com-tor64-saucy.list contains garbage on line 1. Open the file in a text editor with root privileges (eg use sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/upubuntu-com-tor64=saucy.list or instead of nano use sudo -H gedit).

Look for the word dep at the start of the line. This looks like a typo; the line should begin with deb. If you cannot fix the line yourself, delete the file, and try adding the PPA again.

/etc/apt/sources.list contains garbage on line 2. Probably the offending line starts with the word See. You can delete the line, or comment it out by placing a # at the start of the line.

The entries in this file normally follow this format:

deb http://site.example.com/debian distribution component1 component2 component3
deb-src http://site.example.com/debian distribution component1 component2 component3
