Hi,

Have been getting above error since few weeks and still persisting. Is there a way to sort out this issue? I have tried few 'google searches' suggestions but error persists. Could anyone provide me with some guidance please?

Try this

Open up your sources list


software-properties-gtk

and click on "source code" until it appears unchecked, then close and update.

So then I 1) did the uncheck 2)sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* 3)sudo apt-get clean 4)sudo adp-get autoclean 5)sudo apr-get update

so now seems to have run past the last error but new one has cropped up. Do you have any suggestion please?
