Context: I'm using pop os 22.04

I have tried installing docker via the shell script download method:

$ sudo curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh

This failed with the message

# Executing docker install script, commit: b2e29ef7a9a89840d2333637f7d1900a83e7153f
+ sudo -E sh -c apt-get update -qq >/dev/null
E: The repository 'https://download.docker.com/linux/debian bookworm Release' does not have a Release file.

Now when I try to use apt update i get this error:

N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

I tried uninstalling it via apt, but it doesn't recognize docker or any of its name variations.

How do I safely remove the files of the incomplete package I have downloaded?

    This is an Ubuntu site, and you're using Pop OS, but has added a Debian repo to your computer. Something is seriously mixed up here... – Artur Meinild Jun 18 '22 at 09:31
  • I was hoping the distro was similar enough to ubuntu to qualify – none none Jun 18 '22 at 09:32
  • I would assume Pop OS can use the corresponding Ubuntu repo's, but I'm not sure since I don't use Pop OS. – Artur Meinild Jun 18 '22 at 09:32
  • Only Ubuntu and official flavors of Ubuntu (https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours) are on-topic here, refer to https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic where you'll find other SE sites where you question will be welcome if you don't want to use the Pop forum. (One advantage of Ubuntu & flavors are the many support options, you opted for Pop OS so take advantage of it's support options, or SE Unix & Linux) – guiverc Jun 18 '22 at 09:34

I know this question wasn't on-topic in the first place, but this answer might reasonably be useful to an ubuntu user:

The problem wasn't with any individual file i had downloaded, it was that the installation added https://download.docker.com/linux/debian to the list of sources of my package manager, and the error occurred because it was checking for incompatible debian releases. After removing the link from my sources list apt update has resumed working correctly.

  • "incompatible debian releases" ? Bookworm hasn't been released yet (it's like kinetic in the Ubuntu world) – guiverc Jun 18 '22 at 10:42
