I tried asking this earlier, but my problem still persists.

I'm running Brave Version 1.2.43 Chromium: 79.0.3945.130 (Official Build) (64-bit) on my 19.10 Ubuntu laptop.

If I run sudo apt-get update I get the following failures:

Get:13 https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com eoan InRelease [3,162 B]

If I click on the link, I don't see an eoan release, but I do see the xenial release on 2016-May-04. What file should I edit to tell Ubuntu to use that release?

One of the references to my previous attempt suggested that I install ppa-purge. I did, but no joy.

I'm lost on how to solve my specific problem. I'd like to update Brave. I'm sorry to not know better, but I'd appreciate advice on a specific corrective action to take.

i tried removing Brave completely:

sudo apt remove brave-browser
sudo apt purge brave-browser
rm -rf ~/.config/BraveSoftware
rm -rf ~/.cache/BraveSoftware

I thought this would solve the problem. But I still get that same error when I execute sudo apt-get update.

I see that Ubuntu 19.10 reaches the end of its life next month. Is the answer to upgrade to 20.10 and try again?

  • By opening the link in your error (http://ppa.launchpad.net/ian-berke/ppa-drawers/ubuntu/dists/) you can quickly see the release it supports.. or better yet before adding view the details https://launchpad.net/~ian-berke/+archive/ubuntu/ppa-drawers where it's pretty easy to spot 2016 was the last update; why add it when it won't have any support for any release after that (ie. 19.10). You also mention 20.10? that comes out in October (why it's 20.10; 2020-October using the yy.mm format of Ubuntu releases), 19.10 upgrades to 20.04 LTS not to 20.10 – guiverc Jun 26 '20 at 01:37
  • I get 404 from that link. – duffymo Jun 26 '20 at 01:40
  • What I really want is updates to Brave. Possible to uninstall and reinstall? http://www.linuxmadesimple.info/2019/10/how-to-install-brave-browser-on-ubuntu.html – duffymo Jun 26 '20 at 01:41
  • I've updated my question with more details. Please advise. – duffymo Jun 26 '20 at 02:03

Remove the obsolote repository.

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:ian-berke/ppa-drawers

Fetch newest Brave Browser's key.

curl -s https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-core.asc | sudo apt-key --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/brave-browser-release.gpg add -

Update the index repository, try installing brave once again.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install brave-browser
