Yes, there is.

At least in my notebook, the only uncommented lines (without '#' at the 
beginning of the line) in this file has something like this:

blacklist module_name
blacklist another_module_name


And so on ...

Look carefully the lines indicated by the error message and you'll see what's 
wrong with it.

See you!
