Well it's strange but for now update manager is working well now but i reinstalled ubuntu and ubuntu tweak and etc so maybe that fixed it.

But the ppa is still not working well.

E: Malformed line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-tweak-stable.list (dist parse)

I've uploaded a testing version of 0.5.5 for Maverick.

Try to test through:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-tweak-testing/ppa

Ok i added the new ppa and updated to the new testing version the error with
the update manager is fixed but when i open the software for the first time
it asks me to add the stable ppa address
http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/ppa/ubuntu maverick and when i do and
update i get this
W:Failed to fetch
http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz
404 Not Found
, E:Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones
used instead.

But i'm assuming that it would be fix in the future so for now everything is
working fine.:)

you have to go to the source file it's looking at and add the correct
sources, the list points to a blank repository. I fixed it by overriding
the source list that it's looking at. Google search for how to gedit a
source file and also you can find a list of sources for updates viz google.
