E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/hhtp could not be found.
N: Is the package apt-transport-hhtp installed?
E: Failed to fetch hhtp://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/disco/InRelease  
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Just some background, I am new to Linux.
What have I done wrong, and what is hhtp?

  • Thanks for the quick reply. I tried your recommendation, it still doesn't work. Is there a way I can change the hhtp to http? – Jitish Mudgal Nov 06 '19 at 10:47

    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade won't work until hhtp isn't corrected, i'm writing an answer – damadam Nov 06 '19 at 10:50

  1. sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade can't work at all, because it's a combination of:

    • sudo apt-get update (no problem here)
    • apt-get upgrade but this one needs sudo

    So use sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade instead.

  2. hhtp is probably a typo issue, must be http instead. To correct it, open the software-property-gtk:

    • using command line : software-property-gtk or
    • search it by typing Software (named Software & Updates)

    Go to Other Software and find the wrong PPA link → use Modify to correct the hhtp to http, and confirm.

enter image description here

Now if there isn't any new issue, you can execute your sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade without any problems.
