I installed midori:
$ sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:midori/ppa
But it does not work on Ubuntu 17.10 so I have to remove it:
$ sudo ppa-purge ppa:midori/ppa
Updating packages lists
E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/midori/ppa/ubuntu artful Release' does not have a Release file.
Warning: apt-get update failed for some reason
Any idea why I can't remove it?
I have tried:
$ sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:midori/ppa
But still no luck.
Any ideas?
EDIT:
If I do this:
$ sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:midori/ppa
I get:

It does not make sense!
Okay, seems like you have to manually delete the repository, as
add-apt-repository
andppa-purge
seem to refuse touching it because it is not compatible with your Ubuntu release. It has seemingly been discontinued in 2015 with the last supported release being Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily).To do that, you have to remove the sources list file
add-apt-repository
created when adding the PPA. I would expect it to be named like this, but it could also be slightly different:Open this (or however it is really named) file and verify that it is the correct one. It should contain only lines mentioning the repository URL from your error messages, i.e.
If that is the case, you can delete the file:
After that, update your software lists with the new, changed configuration:
