Wrong source .list causing apt-get update for Ubuntu 13.04 crash
I tried to install ruby using rvm and it was failing due to a problem with updating apt-get. I found it was caused by problems with the sources.list file in the etc / apt directory. I tried using this one http://blog.ubuntu-tweak.com/guide/how-to-fix-the-source-list-files to understand and fix the original file. By the time I removed the "bad lines" from sources.list, there were no lines left. At this point, I was able to get the update successfully, but rvm install ruby still fails because now it couldn't find the dependencies I needed. I am starting to consider a full fresh install because I have no idea what else to do, but I figured I would ask for help first.

You seem to be running Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) and it is no longer supported as of Jan 27, 2014.
If you do not want to update, you can also replace archive.ubuntu.com
and security.ubuntu.com
to old-releases.ubuntu.com
a file sources.list
(maybe just use a script I wrote that does the same thing automatically)
[Updated] As @ wes-johnson states in a comment, I deleted dist-upgrade
it because it will use the old source and doesn't work anyway.
