I've been using elementary OS 0.3 Freya (64-bit) built on Ubuntu 14.04

When I tried to open Software Updater its showing Failed to download repository information and when I tried to run

sudo apt-get update

this is what it prints:

W: Failed to fetch http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/Release  Unable to find expected entry 'restricted/source/Sources' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I donno whats the problem and I cann't find a solution for this while I googled it.

From what I've read on the issue, one of the repositories has failed. Maybe try removing them one at a time and see if you can find the offending one.

Edit the ppa's and change freya to trusty. Not sure if this is the ideal solution, but it fixes it.

I removed Chrome download/update from the download list and changed the Ubuntu Software Settings in column 1 to Download from main server. It did the download and update this way.
