I ran into some problems with 14.04 version of Ubuntu Gnome. I couldn't run updates for weeks and whenever I tried I was greeted with the response "Check your internet connection". I found a lot of solutions for the problem here but they didn't work for me. So, I upgraded to 16.04 this morning using a bootable USB and I chose the option to upgrade rather than clean up my HDD. On the newer version, I indeed tried to update it but I got this error now...
sudo apt-get update
E: Malformed entry 63 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list (Component)
E: The list of sources could not be read.
When I ran the following command, I got this output
find /etc/apt/ -name '*.list' -exec bash -c 'echo -e "\n$1\n"; cat -n "$1"' _ '{}' \;

64 # deb-src http://star-www.st-andrews.ac.uk/cran/bin/linux/ubuntu trusty/
As the error says, you're missing a component (the main, universe, etc. of other repos). However, the CRAN mirrors don't have components, and instead use a trivial repo, so you need to have a trailing / there like the trusty line:
deb http://star-www.st-andrews.ac.uk/cran/bin/linux/ubuntu xenial/
