I'm getting E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/deadsnakes/ppa/ubuntu hirsute Release' does not have a Release file. While running sudo apt update in a LTS 20.04 server, I'm currently trying to install python3 but it seems it's not being found either. Not sure what to do. Any assistance?

  • This would be a PPA that was recently added, as `hirsute` is 21.04. If you do not need the `deadsnakes` PPA anymore, you can remove it to eliminate this error. – matigo May 16 '21 at 04:20
  • I have tried following through that link above. It didn't help at all. `sudo do-releases-upgrade` Isn't a command apparently. – AstroDoge May 16 '21 at 04:35

    Your system already has Python3. You don't need to install it. Trying to install Hirsute (21.04) packages onto a 20.04 system is unwise: It rarely works. And the duplicate link *explains* what "no Release file" means: It's not a system error to be fixed -- you (the human) made a mistake when you chose that PPA. – user535733 May 16 '21 at 11:14
  • And, for the record, the command is `sudo do-release-upgrade` but this shouldn't be used unless you want to do a release upgrade, obviously. – ChanganAuto May 16 '21 at 11:41
  • Ok I realized I made a mistake, So how the hell do I remove that package then. – AstroDoge May 17 '21 at 02:44

Solved - was apparently using 21.04 but didn't realize when I was meant to use 20.04, don't know how the other stuff started.
