I installed a small program, "speedtest-clt" It's a snap but it's old not touched in 2 years.

It works well enough, but when I update my system it's causing issues.

Err:8 https://packagecloud.io/ookla/speedtest-cli/ubuntu lunar Release    
  404  Not Found [IP: 2600:1f1c:2e5:6901:14d4:52d6:1cd1:60f8 443]
Reading package lists... Done
E: The repository 'https://packagecloud.io/ookla/speedtest-cli/ubuntu lunar Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

OK I can live without this program, so I uninstall it but the issue remains. I checked the sources.list and it's not there. but I still get this error. The program is not in snap list. As it stands it's blocking updates.

System info: Ubuntu Mate 23.04

    Does this answer your question? [What can I do if a repository/PPA does not have a Release file?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/866901/what-can-i-do-if-a-repository-ppa-does-not-have-a-release-file) – guiverc May 13 '23 at 09:24

    You mention checking sources; what did you check? Did you only check the main sources? or the additional directory where sources added post-install are added as well? – guiverc May 13 '23 at 09:25
  • I looked at /etc/apt/sources.list – user225605 May 13 '23 at 13:03
  • RESOLVED I found reference to repo in /etc/apt/sources/list.d Remove it and my system updates as expected without error. – user225605 May 13 '23 at 13:08
  • The main sources.list file is intended for Ubuntu repositories (ie. official only).. All sources added by users post-install belong in `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/` which is empty on a clean install - ie. that's where you should look for anything added via `sudo add-apt-repository` etc. A quick look at your post shows a non-Ubuntu URL & source (*so would only be in main sources.list in error*) – guiverc May 13 '23 at 22:48
