I had initially by mistake deleted /etc/apt/sources.list, Then I've tried restoring default repositories as mentioned here, but while exiting from there, I got the error:

Failed to fetch http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/dists/xenial-getdeb/InRelease 403 Forbidden [IP: 143.95.32.90 80], E:The repository 'http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu xenial-getdeb InRelease' is not signed.

Also when I'm trying to run sudo apt-get update, but it is giving me following error:

http://www.getdeb.net/ubuntu xenial-getdeb InRelease 403 Forbidden [IP: 143.95.32.90 80]

  • I dont understand why it is getting downvoted ? – alter123 Apr 25 '19 at 05:06
  • What is it there for? getdeb.net is not an official source for Ubuntu, nor on the list of mirrors that I can see (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors). – guiverc Apr 25 '19 at 05:20
  • Any possible way I can remove it from sources, I'm not able to identify which package is using that. Thanks! – alter123 Apr 25 '19 at 05:30

    Which version of Ubuntu are you using? – Mohit Malviya Apr 25 '19 at 05:53
  • I would remove (or more likely comment it out; I prefer leaving a short date & comment on why I make any change) using vim; ie. sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list (or file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/..), but via 'gui' you can search for 'sourc' (start of 'sources') to view a gui-tool that will allow you to do it using mouse/gui, in the "Other Software" tab I'd expect to find it, you can remove the 'tick' & it'll be commented out via your gui [without comment/date on why]. ps: vim is an editor, and vi wasn't really user-friendly in the 1970s; so replace with whatever editor you prefer – guiverc Apr 25 '19 at 06:09
  • Backup your /etc/apt/sources.list and use https://repogen.simplylinux.ch to generate source.list freshly – Naive Apr 26 '19 at 09:52
