I tried the solution here but I get the same error as the original error, also while exeucting it.

$ sudo ppa-purge ppa:chris-lea/zeromq
Updating packages lists
W: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/chris-lea/zeromq/ubuntu xenial Release' does not have a Release file.

What might it be?

  • The PPA provider simply doesn't provide packages beyond Wily (in effect, the PPA was abandoned 2 years ago). You will need to find an alternate repository for the software. What exactly do you need? May 31, 2017 at 16:59
  • I need to get rid of the PPA (and preferably anything it has installed) so that apt-get update stops complaining.

    You should be able to remove it using apt-add-repository or by manually editing your sources - see How to remove a particular PPA?. Since the PPA doesn't provide packages for your release, it should not have installed anything. May 31, 2017 at 17:51
  • "should not have installed anything" unless the system is an upgrade from earlier versions where it did.

  • install ppa manager gui and deal with it nicely for purging or removing launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/y-ppa-manager
