18.04 is the "bionic"-release. You have xenial (16.04) in /etc/apt/sources.list

Anton

So should I work on ubuntu 16.04 ?

Thanks a lot for your quick reply.

The yadedaily package for xenial does not work on bionic.

I see two possibilities:
Either use Ubuntu xenial with the yadedaily package from www.yade-dem.org
or
Use the yade package from the standard repositories for Ubuntu bionic.

Additional remark:
You seem to have redundant lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list configuration file causing warnings for the apt-get update command.
I assume that the lines 53, 56, 57 and 58 are identical to line 52 and should be deleted.

Just to avoid useless trouble I would put Manfred's possibilities in a different order:
Use the yade package from the standard repositories for Ubuntu bionic.
or
Either use Ubuntu xenial with the yadedaily package from www.yade-dem.org

That is:
Install the right package for your OS (reading the install page again should be enough)
or
Reinstall linux if you see an error message ;)

Hi every one
I encountered the same problem, However in Ubuntu 16.04.
Any other option else than reinstalling Linux?

@mohsen:
Please do not piggyback on somebody else's question, but create a question document of your own.
If possible add the output of the commands listed in the first response of this question document.

> Any other option else than reinstalling Linux?

It was just a joke in #6... sorry. Don't reinstall linux to fix a problem, never.
