    [SOLVED] Repository no longer has release file

    Here is what I get with 'apt-get update':

    Code:
    [FONT=monospace][COLOR=#000000]Get:1 file:/var/lib/preinstalled-pool focal InRelease [/COLOR]
Ign:1 file:/var/lib/preinstalled-pool focal InRelease
Get:2 file:/var/lib/preinstalled-pool focal Release [3 949 B]

Reading package lists...
E: The repository 'http://archive.neon.kde.org/user focal Release' no longer has a Release file.
W: GPG error: https://repo.skype.com/deb stable InRelease: The following signatures were invalid: EXPKEYSIG 1F3045A5DF7587C3 Sky
pe Linux Client Repository <se-um@microsoft.com>
E: The repository 'https://repo.skype.com/deb stable InRelease' is not signed.[/FONT]
    It's the "archive.neon.kde.org/user focal Release" which is most bothersome, of course.

    How to fix this? If it's not using the repo, is it doing the update? The problem looks a bit like this, but is not identical. (I don't see any cdrom mentioned.) My sources.list looks like this.

    Code:
    [FONT=monospace][COLOR=#000000]deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal main restricted universe multiverse [/COLOR]
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal-updates main restricted universe multiverse[/FONT]
    Uh, I don't know where that 'FONT' is coming from. It's not in the file and doesn't show up on my Konsole.

    In any case, I don't see how to apply the fix suggested there. I do not have muon installed. Should I?

    It is working fine here. Maybe a snafu or temporary outage on the server?
    A 404 error would indicate something is down, possibly. But:

    Code:
    Err:9 http://archive.neon.kde.org/user focal Release
404 Not Found [IP: 2a02:6ea0:c900::5 80]
    The ip is pingable from here:
    Code:
    $ ping 2a02:6ea0:c900::5

    or better:

    It should not matter at all, but see what the current/correct apt usage shows:
    sudo apt update


    In any case, I see the Frameworks 5.88 is out now....240+ tiny packages to upgrade. Maybe these were being uploaded while you were checking?

      Funny. When I enter the command again, it does not have that problem, only the skype one. Question: Should I be using apt instead of apt-get? In that case, apt-get dist-upgrade will be replaced by apt full-upgrade, right? I've never understood the difference between apt and apt-get, nor their raison d'être. History; I suppose:

      Thanks for your suggestions.

        The Neon server was probably just down for a moment

        apt has replaced apt-get a few years ago, but the older method is still fine to use. As I understand, there are very minor differences in how apt works versus apt-get, but these are unlikely to affect most people. But the packages are created and tested using the new one, so it is a good idea to use this.

        sudo apt update
        sudo apt full-upgrade

        As to skype, it seems that last June, they let their gpg signing key expire.

        I will guess that the solutions should still be valid.

          apt is intended for interactive use, apt-get is for scripts. So if you are typing it in a konsole, use apt. The differences are sort of cosmetic; the apt command gives more feedback, for example, apt update gives a message telling how many packages can be updated. (Annoyingly, apt thinks it's in a script if its output is not a "terminal", and gives a loud warning if I redirect its output to a pager. IMO it should check its input.)

            Just curious. Who marked this SOLVED? I wanted to, but couldn't figure out how, with the new format. Thanks to whoever...

              Go back to your first post. In the lower right in very small gray text, click "Edit", Move to the upper left corner and you'll see it.

              Not really obvious or convenient. We're all getting used to the new layout and function of the site. I, for one, have several issues but overall it's an improvement. Even if it wasn't we didn't have much choice.
