The webupd8team/java PPA has been abandoned, see https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/java

You have to remove this PPA from your list of repositories.

Try the command (to be executed in a terminal window):
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:webupd8team/java

I received an email from <email address hidden>

He advised to use: sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:webupd8team/java

And it worked! I am back in business.....

Thank you so very much.
