I've tried before to install a repo called flux but I didn't manage to make it fully installed, and currently whenever I try to do sudo apt update i got a message says The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/nathan-renniewaldock/flux/ubuntu impish Release' does not have a Release file.

I want to remove this package I've tried this command sudo add-apt-repository -r http://ppa:launchpad.net/nathan-renniewaldock/flux but it didn't work either, it says this repo doesn't have a release file.

I'm using Ubuntu 21.10

cd /etc/apt

grep -r renniewaldock # do a search on any string in repo name

will show you the file containing that repository ... then edit that file

sudo  /etc/apt/the.file.found.in.above.grep.answer

you can simply comment out the line with that repo in that file to shut it off which will let you start over ... or just remove that file and any repository in it will be ignored

In general you want to stick to using the Ubuntu LTS releases ... those are ONLY even years and ONLY the .04 as in

18.04   bionic
20.04   focal
22.04   jammy

so in your case in above sudo vi /some.file replace mention of

impish

with the name of the LTS release closest to your Ubuntu release

Since 21.10 is codenamed "Impish Indri" then replace impish with jammy ... in below file

sudo  /etc/apt/the.file.found.in.above.grep.answer
