In your package management configuration you have references to two PPAs which do not contains software for Ubuntu xenial.
Remove the entries, and the error messages will disappear.

For identifying the details please provide the output of the command

find /etc/apt -name '*.list' -exec bash -c 'echo -e "\n$1\n"; cat -n "$1"' _ '{}' \;

Remarks:
1. also the entry for "old-releases - raring" should be removed, because it is obsolete.
2. Support for Ubuntu xenial has already ended (is now in ESM status), so you should plan an upgrade to a supported release in due course. see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

Issue the following commands:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ia32-libs-raring.list
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sicklylife-ubuntu-gnucash-xenial.list
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kazam-team-ubuntu-stable-series-xenial.list

Then try "sudo apt-get update" again, and I hope the errors are gone.

How to remove the entries for "old-releases - raring"

Revision history for this message
Manfred Hampl (m-hampl) said (last edit ):
#7

The command for removing the raring entry is the first one of the three commands in comment #5
The second and third are for the "404 not found" - "no release file" errors.
