which use to getting updated when I was installing tensorRT 6

sudo apt-get update

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.

sudo apt-get clean doesn't work

How to I reset the sudo apt-get update so that it will not pop this error?

  1. My bad I again had to install sudo dpkg -i nv-tensorrt-repo-ubuntu1804-cuda10.2-trt7.0.0.11-ga-20191216_1-1_amd64.deb

    then purge the package with sudo dpkg -P nv-tensorrt-repo-ubuntu1804-cuda10.2-trt7.0.0.11-ga-20191216

    Worked just fine
