Cannot update docotormo's ppa

Question

I just bought a Wacom Tablet but am unable to install drivers for it. The official Wacom website does not have downloads for my Intuos tablet so I googled and found a ppa from Martin Owens who got some stuff available for Wacom. Adding the key went flawlessly but when I try to run the command sudo apt-get update the following error pops up:

Hit:18 https://apt-mo.trafficmanager.net/repos/dotnet-release xenial InRelease Fetched 306 kB in 11s (27,1 kB/s)
Reading package lists... Done W: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/doctormo/wacom-plus/ubuntu xenial Release' does not have a Release file. N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details. E: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/doctormo/wacom-plus/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found

The ppa I am trying to configure is https://launchpad.net/~doctormo/+archive/ubuntu/wacom-plus. What can I do?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

• There is no build for xenial as you can seen in

  http://ppa.launchpad.net/doctormo/wacom-plus/ubuntu/dists/

  Or in details view https://launchpad.net/~doctormo/+archive/ubuntu/wacom-plus/+packages

• The quickest option that may work:

  1. Open software-properties-gtk
  2. Go to other softwares tab and edit that ppa from xenial to wily

• If you got it working, you may do a favor for other user. You can create your own PPA in less then 10min, following this answer Can I get a package from a ppa that my distro doesn't support?

If it didn't work, it needed some modification. I would recommend building it locally.
