  • You are not running apt as superuser (using sudo). Also, update is not a valid package name. Maybe you want to sudo apt update, then sudo apt upgrade. – Pablo Bianchi Mar 26 '22 at 17:46

    E: Type 'sudo' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list suggests that you made a serious mistake or typo trying to add that source. Delete that line from your source, and add the source again more carefully. – user535733 Mar 26 '22 at 18:15
  • what source are you talking about – dion omara Mar 28 '22 at 10:31

Read the last line of errors:

E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root?

Are you root ? No, you are not, you have to run the command as:

sudo apt install update

to havw root / administrative rights.
