I am using Ubuntu 18.04. When I tried to update with sudo apt update I got the following errors:

E: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/susan-spencer/seamly2d/ubuntu/dists/bionic/InRelease  403  Forbidden [IP: 91.189.95.85 80]
E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/susan-spencer/seamly2d/ubuntu bionic InRelease' is no longer signed.
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.

Can anyone provide instructions for how to fix this? I would appreciate step-by-step instructions.

The seamly2d package no longer exists in the PPA from susan-spencer. It will need to be removed.

We have a highly active question about removing PPAs: How can PPAs be removed? Answers to this question include step-by-step instructions for removing a PPA.

You may also want to read: Are PPAs safe to add to my system and what are some "red flags" to watch out for?. PPAs are not official Ubuntu software. Anyone can make a PPA to distribute software. Some PPAs can break your system, especially if they are outdated, obscure, and/or poorly maintained.

Also note that sudo apt update only updates the list of available software. While this command is supposed to be run before doing anything else in apt, you should also run sudo apt upgrade after sudo apt update if you want to actually perform updates to your installed software.
