Ignore the error - it is about a malformed omf file in file-roller, and is (AFAICT) completely harmless. Continue the upgrade as normal, even though it spews garbage on your screen. There are already bugs about this. As for the Sources entry in your sources.list - I don't knwo what the correct one for that site is - perhaps contact the person running it, or google around?
