  • It could be that the ppa deluge-team is not working properly so better remove that ppa from the sources.list or via add-apt-repository --remove theDelugeTeamPPA and sudo apt-get update again. – nickanor Dec 25 '12 at 12:52
  • I cannot find it in > sources.list I don't know if it works for the repository removal. this works: > sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:deluge-team/ppa I just found out. – owl Dec 25 '12 at 12:58

There is no Deluge packages on Quantal, as you can see on Launchpad's PPA page. To use Deluge, you need to edit the Deluge PPA entry to search packages for Precise in software-properties-gtk, changing the Distribution: field from quantal to precise:

Distribution Changing

After that, sudo apt-get update will show no errors about this repository.

I have found the fix. Use this command on terminal.

sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:deluge-team/ppa

(THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED, SINCE IT WILL REMOVE THE REPOSITORY)
