Iam a severe beginner, so please bear with me ...

I un-installed playonlinux from my machine*. Now, whenever running sudo apt-get update, the system still prints these warnings:

W: GPG error: http://deb.playonlinux.com precise InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 73F0D6E88E3D6C3A

W: The repository 'http://deb.playonlinux.com precise InRelease' is not signed.

N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use.

When I look at sources.list, it does not contain any reference to playonlinux that I can identify. I also ran apt-key update. When I try to purge playonlinux, it says that Package 'playonlinux' is not installed.

How can I fix this? Thanks!

*I am running Elementary OS 0.4.1. (Built on "Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS").

    Here's how you can usually fix the error, but in this case you will probably want to remove the repository. Please note that elementary OS and other non-Ubuntu systems are not on topic here... – Wilf Jul 26 '17 at 00:25

    @Wilf Thanks for your help, removing worked! I figured since elementary is based on Ubuntu it would fit here, but point taken. – patrick Jul 26 '17 at 00:31

    @patrick please look on Unix and Linux for further guidence. It seems you are already a member of U&L. – fosslinux Jul 26 '17 at 01:12
