I tried unsuccessfully to install CouchDB on Ubuntu 21, but now I get this error on apt-get update which seems preventing me from installing anything else on my system.

d@mypc:~$ sudo apt-get update
Hit:1 http://ppa.launchpad.net/cappelikan/ppa/ubuntu focal InRelease
Ign:2 https://apache.jfrog.io/artifactory/couchdb-deb hirsute InRelease                                      
Hit:3 https://download.sublimetext.com apt/stable/ InRelease                                                 
Err:4 https://apache.jfrog.io/artifactory/couchdb-deb hirsute Release
  404  Not Found [IP: 35.160.64.110 443]
Reading package lists... Done
E: The repository 'https://apache.jfrog.io/artifactory/couchdb-deb hirsute Release' does not have 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.

The weird thing is /etc/apt/sources.list is empty as I have already removed the couchdb source I tried to add earlier.

Where is my system referencing "https://apache.jfrog.io/artifactory/couchdb-deb" and how do I remove it?

    Look for the corresponding file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/. – mook765 Aug 22 '21 at 18:12
  • Thankyou!! Didn't know about that directory – Derrick Aug 22 '21 at 18:15

    Seems ok to close this questions as a duplicate of apt-get - where are the sources stored? – mook765 Aug 22 '21 at 20:06

  • yes it can close but I don't know how to 'close' i Tried making "Answer Your Question" with links to mook's comment but it just converted it to a comment .

    anyway @N0rbert no I reviewed that thread in my troubleshooting nowhere does it mention sources.list.d which is what/where my problem was. I didn't have any ppa installed so there was nothing to purge.

    It might be a dupe of the one mook suggested but it is a little different context, in mine I wanted to know where to remove sources but the other thread was about resolving them; but anyway that's that!
