Reading package lists... Done
How can I solve this ?
>Solution :
Most of the repositories and PPAs in your sources.list are no longer available and are throwing errors. I’d recommend restoring the default repositories.
-
First, restore the default focal repositories using these commands:
mkdir ~/solution cd ~/solution/ wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/ishad0w/788555191c7037e249a439542c53e170/raw/3822ba49241e6fd851ca1c1cbcc4d7e87382f484/sources.list sudo rm -r /etc/apt/sources.list sudo cp -r ~/solution/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list -
Remove all the PPAs in your system:
sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* ~/solution -
Update the repositories:
sudo apt update
Now there should be no errors.
Good Luck!
