How can I fix the following errors I received during sudo apt-get update on Ubuntu 14.04 so I can upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04?

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ethereum/etherum/ubuntu/dists/unity/main/binary-amd64/Packages  403  Forbidden

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ethereum/etherum/ubuntu/dists/unity/main/binary-i386/Packages  403  Forbidden

I have tried everything I can find on here relating to this issue & don't understand what I may be doing wrong. I am fairly new to Ubuntu / Linux systems so please bear with me & try to help me.

Try launch "Software & update" utility, and disable these PPA`s on tab "Other"

Wasted a lot of time on this today but figure it out.

If you're getting ppa.launchpad.net timeout issues and using docker, here is how to fix it:

  1. Add this line: apt-get update --option Acquire::ForceIPv4=true --option Acquire::Retries=100 --option Acquire::http::Timeout=60
  2. Replace: apt with apt-get everywhere.
  3. On the host machine run this apt install dnsmasq
