I have become paranoid with adding new repositories lately, but since I need skype, I have to add the repository called canonical.

I read, it is necessary to uncomment (delete the # sign at the beginning) the line in /etc/apt/sources.list for the repository I want to use.

However, when I am in /etc/apt/sources.list, I can't find any repository with canonical in its name.

"canonical partners":

It is these 2 lines ...

$ grep partner sources.list
## 'partner' repository.
# deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu xenial partner
# deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu xenial partner

or from the desktop (image shows zesty instead of xenial)...
