it's a PPA I install but I did not need it; so when I start Software, it shows an error :
" Unable to download updates:
faile to refresh cache: E: the repository ' htpp://deb.debian.org/debian/main buster Release ' does not have a Release file.
I < ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d > but it wasn't there , I found it in software & Updates > Debian Software > Download from: ; so I look at some forums and try < sudo add-apt-repository -r http://deb.debian.org/debian/buster/main > and the terminal did not show any thing so I though that it was ok , so I restart , but when I started Software the error show up again ; and when I do < sudo apt update >
E: The repository 'http://deb.debian.org/debian/buster/main buster Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
I'm not sure what to do here; I read it and is way beyond a newbie like me , I just think it be easier if I just deleted it .

And you're missing the security repositories, which are very important:
Code: Select all
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main contrib non-free
Looks like the lines in that source are all commented-out, did you actually install anything from there?jarp53 wrote:Code: Select all

Re: need to remove a PPA
It's not a "ppa", it's an official Debian repository. The installer should have configured the sources for you if you selected a mirror during the installation.jarp53 wrote:I did not know I had to install security ppa
Do yourself a favour and check the Debian wiki page about sources.list and also read the first link in my signature before you break your system.
