  • PPAs are 3rd party sources (*PPA = Personal Package Archive*) so all security is on you to perform as no guarantees of quality/fitness etc. is provided. A quick check of https://launchpad.net/~flatpak/+archive/ubuntu/stable should have shown you it didn't provide support for *kinetic* (22.10), thus adding it was an incorrect/unwise decision. – guiverc Jan 20 '23 at 22:17

You don't need a PPA to install Flatpak in Ubuntu 22.10, because it is already there in the default repositories. You got this error message because the PPA does not have a package for your version of Ubuntu.

First, remove the PPA.

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:flatpak/stable

Then, update the APT index.

sudo apt update

Finally, install flatpak with

sudo apt install flatpak
