Any idea about these warnings? I'm running the ubuntu 18.10 just upgraded at the latest patches.

the warning is repeated several times for each package

  • As not too many people understand Italian and most online resources focus on the native English output messages, could you rerun your command with default locale and [edit] your question to replace the output? You get the default localization for just one single command by prefixing it with LANG=C - i.e. LANG=C sudo apt-get update. Thanks. – Byte Commander Mar 03 '19 at 00:28

EDIT: After google translate it seems like apt-get update complains about main not being found in http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dist/cosmic which is true. Do you get the same error for http://it.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu cosmic InRelease line as that repository does have main folder in the tree. For the broken repository path The packages.gz file seems to be located under http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/cosmic/partner/binary-amd64/ so what I think you need to do to fix this is either enable **Canonical Partners ** in Ubuntu Software Sources window. (Ubuntu Software Centre > Edit > Software Sources) or edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add/uncomment

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu cosmic partner

and comment out

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu cosmic InRelease

    I added the

    deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu cosmic partner

    but there is no line containing InRelease into the /etc/apt/sources.list file.

  • Do you still get the warnings when you add the partner path? what do you get when you type in sudo find . -type f -exec grep --exclude=*.conf.* -H archive.canonical {} \; . Do you get any lines with InRelease or repeats? – NetIceGear Mar 03 '19 at 14:29

    Yes, the warnings are exactly the same and nothing seems changed

    I rerun the cmd, and you can se the actual result in english in the original question.

    While running the sudo find as you suggested, I discovered that it transforms a cosmic main' in a 'cosmic InRelease'.

    Then, in the config file, as the deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu cosmic InRelease was not present while the deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu cosmic main was, I decided to try to comment out the latter.

    Now the get update looks running without warnings, but I'm not sure if it really running fine ;-)

  • What you did was perfectly fine, That line was the was causing All your apt problems problems. , as it was not structured properly, thats all. deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu cosmic partner will take care of canonical partnet packages.
