When I try to update my system with sudo apt-get update, I receive the following:

How can I fix this and update my system?

Now, I am getting:

  • Please elaborate on your question in the body of the question and apply formatting code for any code you include. Currently, the question cannot be read. – vanadium Jan 25 '22 at 11:25
  • Based on the message, you will want to fix your /etc/apt/sources.list to remove duplicate lines. This can be done by putting a # at the start of a line with a duplicate, or removing it altogether. Once done, you will be able to update and upgrade correctly. – matigo Jan 25 '22 at 11:41

There are three errors in your system.

  • First, one of your repositories is not signed and requires a GPG key.

  • Secondly, your sources.list has duplicate sources.

  • Third, your system has a corrupted package.

Adding the proper signatures.

  1. Run the following command in a terminal:

    sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys F716E939977FC428

  2. Update:

    sudo apt update

Fixing the duplicate entries.

  1. Install the Y-PPA-MANAGER:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/y-ppa-manager
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install y-ppa-manager

  2. Open the Y-PPA-MANAGER:

    sudo y-ppa-manager

    Y PPA MANAGER

  3. Navigate to Advanced → Scan and remove duplicate PPAs.

    Advanced options.

  4. Let it complete and run:

    sudo apt update

To fix the corrupted package:

  1. First, update the repositories:

    sudo apt update

  2. Now, run:

    sudo apt download runit-systemd && sudo dpkg -i --force-all ./*.deb

  3. Run force install:

    sudo apt -f install

    This will also install the package you wanted to install i.e scaleft-server-tools.

If you want you can purge reinstall the package. By running:

sudo dpkg -P scaleft-server-tools --force-all && sudo apt install scaleft-server-tools

Alternatively, you can manually edit the post-installation files for the package scaleft-server-tools and replace the systemctl command with the service command and run sudo apt -f install. Reboot to confirm all the changes.

That's it!
Good Luck!

EDIT

For problem #3 i.e Corrupted package.

In the documentation, I found that for Ubuntu 20.04 Focal or above, you need to explicitly allow certificate authorities (CAs) to use the ssh-rsa algorithm to sign certificates.

To do this, you need to add the following line to your OpenSSH daemon file (which is either /etc/ssh/sshd_config or a drop-in file under /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/):

CASignatureAlgorithms +ssh-rsa

Following the instructions on Okta.com (formatting, my own):

2.Trust the repository signing key:

curl -fsSL https://dist.scaleft.com/pki/scaleft_deb_key.asc | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/scaleft-archive-keyring.gpg > /dev/null

after you've installed the certificate, you might need to apt -f install to fix any installation you've tried to do already, but then hopefully everything else will install happily.
