For now, if you wish to use the ubuntugis ppa with Ubuntu 18.04, you will need to use the unstable repo, not the stable one. Remove (or comment out) the entries for the stable repo (probably in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntugis-ubuntu-ppa-bionic.list
) and run the following (as per the ubuntugis wiki ) :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable sudo apt-get update
-
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable
still results inE: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu cosmic Release' does not have a Release file.

1So I renamed the
ubuntugis-ubuntu-ubuntugis-unstable-cosmic.list
file toubuntugis-ubuntu-ubuntugis-unstable-bionic.list
, then edited the file changingcosmic
tobionic
. Thensudo apt update
completed without complaining.– Beer MeDec 1, 2018 at 16:58 -
@BeerMe, the problem is both for bionic and cosmic, and you have cosmic, so I am not sure how that worked for you. Nonetheless, can explain in more detail how you made the changes? Where do I find that file and how to change its name? Thanks– icypyJan 2, 2019 at 23:09

1@icypy The files are under
/etc/apt/sources.list.d
. I should point out that making those changes allowed me to runapt update
without problems, but I never did get ubuntugis to work.– Beer MeJan 3, 2019 at 23:21
Here's your problem, and the cause of further errors (E:
) and notifications (N:
):

The 404
error means you failed to connect to ppa.launchpad.net
.
Fix your network connection.
