<p>What about inside the file /etc/apt/sources.list?</p>

Looks like you removed the package database that apt creates from a package repository entry. All you need to do to get rid of a repository is to delete the config file for it out of the apt config at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/<a_<u></u>file_in_here.list> or to remove the line from the config file at /etc/apt/sources.list.<br>
<br>
After you've done that, just run "apt-get update" and it will clean out all the repositories that don't exist anymore as well as update all the ones that still do.<br>
<br>
After that, symantic should start working again.<br>

Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones<br>
used instead.<br>

I then clicked update and now it says my system is up to date but when<br>
'refresh' is clicked I still get the medibuntu error?<br>

The medibuntu repo has been shut down. You'll want to remove any<br>
mention of it from your list of repositories.<br>
