Updating Ubuntu packages fails to fetch

I'm trying to get my ubuntu(14.04LTS) updated, and I failed with this message:

W: Failed to fetch this Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-1386/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

I'm quite sure this should be i386, not 1386, but I have no idea how to fix this ridiculous error.

How should I handle this situation?

Edit the arch file located here:

vi /var/lib/dpkg/arch

There will be an entry 1386, it should either be removed or changed to i386 depending on the architecture of your system and the other entries within the file.
