I have a ppa update error message:

W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/upubuntu-com/office/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found
E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I have found several post on how to remove ppa's but they all require the ppa name. I know it might sound stupid, but I do not know what is the name of the faulty ppa.

Regards

  • The PPA name is usually after the ppa.launchpad.net. So, the PPA is upubuntu-com. Here is the actual PPA for that https://launchpad.net/~upubuntu-com/+ppa-packages – Terrance Jun 10 '15 at 21:31
  • Probably need to remove the following file, then update: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/upubuntu-com-ppa-trusty.list – Terrance Jun 10 '15 at 21:40
  • To try and fix the issue: the ppa hasn't been updated since Quantal, so you could try using the quantal version following this. – s3lph Jun 10 '15 at 21:43

The PPA has the name

ppa:upubuntu-com/office

There is a matching list file in your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/.

Remove the file

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/upubuntu-com-ubuntu-office-trusty.list

and run

sudo apt-get update

  • I have found the folder yet : frepie@Inspiron-1501:~$ sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/upubuntu-com-ubuntu-office-trusty.list rm: cannot remove ‘/etc/apt/sources.list.d/upubuntu-com-ubuntu-office-trusty.list’: No such file or directory frepie@Inspiron-1501:~$ – frepie Jun 12 '15 at 01:32
  • Strange: when I use sudo, I get a No such file or directory error message but when I do gksudo, it worked. – frepie Jun 12 '15 at 01:37
