When I run sudo apt update, I get this:

E: The repository 'http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu bionic-getdeb Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu bionic Release' does not have a Release file.

I do not have these repositories. Here's my /etc/apt/sources.list file:

I tried sudo apt-add-repository --remove http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu, but it returned no output, and when I tried sudo apt update again, I got the same error.

I'm hoping to get this error to go away, but I don't know how. Is that possible? What can I do?

  • Additionally 17.04 is EOL so your current sources list is pretty useless & generally askubuntu does not support questions on EOL releases posted after EOL date – doug Jul 14 '18 at 19:34
  • @N0rbert called it. Thank you. Respond with that as an answer and I'll mark it as the correct answer so you can get your Internet points. – Luke Jul 14 '18 at 19:53

It seems that you have archive.getdeb.net in some file inside /etc/apt/sources.list.d/.

As getdeb.net does not have Release file for Bionic (it supports only 17.04), you should remove corresponding *.list file from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory.


Wine PPA does not have packages for Bionic, you should remove it with its packages by

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
