I keep getting the error:

E: The repository 'http://apt.llvm.org/bionic bionic Release' does not have a Release file.

when I try to install llvm. At the bottom of the source file (/etc/apt/sources.list), it is (what I think should be) the repository

...
deb http://apt.llvm.org/bionic/ llvm-toolchain-bionic-9 main

I'm not sure if it hasn't been sourced correctly or if it's missing anything. Any suggestion would be welcomed. Thanks.

  • What is the output of grep "apt.llvm" /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*? – Kulfy Feb 17 '20 at 16:23
  • /etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://apt.llvm.org/bionic/ bionic llvm-toolchain-bionic-10 main /etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://apt.llvm.org/bionic/ llvm-toolchain-bionic main /etc/apt/sources.list:# deb-src http://apt.llvm.org/bionic/ llvm-toolchain-bionic main /etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://apt.llvm.org/bionic/ llvm-toolchain-bionic-9 main /etc/apt/sources.list:# deb-src http://apt.llvm.org/bionic/ llvm-toolchain-bionic-9 main /etc/apt/sources.list:# deb-src http://apt.llvm.org/bionic/ llvm-toolchain-bionic-9 main – afernandezody Feb 17 '20 at 16:30
  • The repository information in /etc/apt/sources.list is wrong. It contains extra bionic. – Kulfy Feb 17 '20 at 16:44
  • I'm unable to clean up this mess so I'm going to restart the process from square one understanding (more or less) what went wrong earlier. – afernandezody Feb 17 '20 at 17:15
  • The repository in sources.list should look like deb https://apt.llvm.org/bionic/ llvm-toolchain-bionic-10 main instead of deb https://apt.llvm.org/bionic/ bionic llvm-toolchain-bionic-10 main. Tip: Never add 3rd party repositories in sources.list. Instead put them in something.list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d – Kulfy Feb 17 '20 at 17:27
  • I was finally able to complete a successful installation. I was just following the instructions, which indicate to run sudo bash -c "$(wget -O - https://apt.llvm.org/llvm.sh)" that modifies the source file. There's probably some way to modify the command in order to achieve what you're suggesting but I'm just not familiar with it. Thanks. – afernandezody Feb 17 '20 at 18:35
