How can I fix a 404 Error using a PPA?

When I run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, I get the following:

  • For what I have checked, the Oneric PPA version of OpenJDK is not in the url it mentions there. So it is telling you that that url address does not exist.

    For the CD it might be because you do not have the CD in the CDROM. I actually remove the repo for the CD since I do not need it after installing Ubuntu.

    So in both cases the message says it all. You need to remove both repo links from your Software sources and then try again.

You need to fix your sources.list file. Try opening the terminal Ctrl+Alt+T. Next type sudo gedit sources.list . The sources list will pop-up. Remove the ones listed which appear to no longer be valid. You'll also need to edit the entries in /etc/apt/sources.list.d . To edit these you can type sudo nautilus to open the file browser as root and delete the ppa's listed in the errors above. Replace with actual valid sources and save. Run the update command to refresh and get the updates.

  • Jeremy,There are 4 files in – Francisco Tavares Feb 23 '12 at 11:46
  • Jeremy,there are 4 files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d. I tried with another extension of the file of the ppa's to overcome the situation. Errors above. 2 of the fimes seem to be backups of the other 2. They are equal and have the extension save. Tell me if it is enough to remove the 2 files having ppa's in the name. I must say I first upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10. After that I reinstalled 11.10 from a DVD clearing the disk. Itś the actual situation. Is there enough to remove ppa's files from /etc/apt/sources.list.d? – Francisco Tavares Feb 23 '12 at 12:05
  • It's a start. You'll can upgrade to the latest development version by pressing Alt+F2 and then type update-manager -c -d in the run dialog box. – Jeremy Jared Feb 25 '12 at 01:33
