Problem with synaptic

Hello, I'm new in Linux systems and I'm a bit lost.
I am trying to enter Synaptic but these mistakes come out:

Predomination 1 Bad specified in the list of sources /etc/apt/sources.list.d/librewolf.sources (type)

The lists of sources could not be read.

Does anyone know what can I do to solve it?

I have played something on the konsole and now I don't know how to solve it

I am using Q4OS Gemini

Thank you.

Re: Problem with synaptic

Debian sources files must end in .list

Open Konsole

sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/librewolf.sources /etc/apt/sources.list.d/librewolf.list

sudo apt update

If it is still objecting

sudo nano  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/librewolf.sources

Put a # at the start of any lines in the file
Ctrl O to save
Ctrl X to leave

sudo apt update

which should complete without any errors
Use synaptic as required

Re: Problem with synaptic

It seems you tried to install LibreWolf but the installation wasn't successful. If you followed instructions given on the Installation page, you probably created more files on your system than only librewolf.sources.
I suggest you to

• First (try to) uninstall LibreWolf:

  $ sudo apt autoremove librewolf

• Then remove its repositories from your system. See the instructions at the end of the Installation page.
  Select carefully the full 10 lines command (sudo rm /f ...), copy/paste it into Konsole and press Enter.
  Terminate with

  $ sudo apt update
