Today I am getting this error on my system. When I was working on my system a red notification came up on the top bar and I tried to see where it went wrong.

In terminal I tried to use below command:

sudo apt update

And after that it produced this error:

❯ sudo apt update
Alias: _ apt update
[sudo] password for user:

E: The repository 'http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security Release' no longer has a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

How can I fix this security issue?

    "No Release File" is a symptom. The real problem is above that: "Network is unreachable" Reconnect to your network and try again. – user535733 May 22 '20 at 17:44
