Please edit the file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ which contain the two following lines, and remove them. Leave all other lines in the file intact.

Code: Select all

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ [distro] partner
deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ [distro] partner

I can read following lines in the file. There are no any other text lines in the file.

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/upubuntu-com/office/ubuntu precise main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/upubuntu-com/office/ubuntu precise main

I think the error is ocurring due to the installation of Appache open office.

Can you try the file /etc/apt/sources.list instead to see if the defective lines are coming from there instead?
It is the two lines in my previous post which are the cause of your problems - not the Apache OpenOffice repository you posted.
