Trouble updating MKVToolnix apt repo on bionic

  • 772

I used Ubuntu Bionic. I have, among others, the following apt sources configured

deb https://mkvtoolnix.download/ubuntu/bionic/ ./
deb-src https://mkvtoolnix.download/ubuntu/bionic/ ./

when I apt-get update, it fails on this repo, telling me:

E: The repository 'https://mkvtoolnix.download/ubuntu/bionic ./ 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.

I browsed around, and found a suggestion to use apt-get update --allow-insecure-repositories, but that just changed the error messages I'm getting and didn't resolve the problem.

Help?

package-management updates apt software-sources mkv

  1. It seems the structure of the repository changed at some point. Replace those two lines with the following:

    deb https://mkvtoolnix.download/ubuntu/ bionic main
deb-src https://mkvtoolnix.download/ubuntu/ bionic main

    and that should satisfy apt-get and let you update.
