No such file or directory: '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-ubuntu-java-bionic.list'

Question

I accidentally deleted the directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d'. How can I solve?

As a sidenote: Don't use 16.10. It's end of life. Upgrade to 18.04 or 18.10. — vidarlo, Jan 3, 2019 at 19:57

/etc/apt/sources.list.d is owned by root, and has the permissions rwxr-xr-x

You can recreate it with

sudo mkdir /etc/apt/sources.list.d
sudo chmod 755 /etc/apt/sources.list.d

You will of course have to manually add all sources you want after having recreated the directory.

Please, try this command to recreate your repository:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt update
