any help/explanation is appreciated (i know this is such a newb question but nonetheless)

when I try to "sudo apt update" the command fails on one "link" (Failed to fetch http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/dists/trusty-getdeb/InRelease 403 Forbidden [IP: 143.95.32.90 80] )

why is that? did the apt update command complete successfully? does this have anything to do with updating repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list?

Thank you in advance for any help folks, greatly appreciate any feedback.

Possible duplicate of How can I fix a 404 Error when using a PPA or updating my package lists? As noted by @Olorin, the project is down, probably forever. You should remove the repository link from your system. – Melebius Feb 26 '19 at 06:57
i would love to comment that entry out of the /etc/apt/sources.list, i dont know which one it is, how can i tell ?? – as134_user3693277 Mar 06 '19 at 09:29
The one containing the hostname archive.getdeb.net, just like the error message. However, it might not reside directly in sources.list, there is also sources.list.d. Search for it using grep archive\.getdeb\.net -R /etc/apt. – Melebius Mar 06 '19 at 13:46
