Need help with apt update not working

[Joe69]

I'm having an issue with the apt update command and this is the output from terminal.

I'm running Ubuntu 18.4.4 LTS

Lutris for xubuntu 16.04 looks to be deprecated.

 

Try remove all existing PPA entries and download them again with:

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
sudo rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
sudo apt-get update

You can download a newer version of Lutris if necessary with:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lutris-team/lutris
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lutris

Thank you so much this fixed the problem.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lutris-team/lutris

So after removing the ppa with the first two commands, I used this command but got this error:

"tw9user@debian:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lutris-team/lutris

If im correct... isnt this error a python error? Is there a way to fix this?

You probably deleted sources.list.d and lists instead of just the contents. Recreate it with:

sudo mkdir /etc/apt/sources.list.d
sudo mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo apt-get update
