How to remove docker package from apt update?

  • 772

On Ubuntu 20.04 I had problems installing minikube due to some docker issues, so I decided to update it, but sudo apt update outputs docker package error:

Err:18 https://get.docker.com/ubuntu docker InRelease
    403  Forbidden [IP: 13.33.240.69 443]

So I decided to remove it, but first identifying what exact docker packages I have (docker-EE? docker-CE? docker? ...):

dpkg -l | grep -i docker
    rc  docker.io                                        19.03.8-0ubuntu1.20.04.2              amd64        Linux container runtime
    ii  python3-docker                                   4.1.0-1                               all          Python 3 wrapper to access docker.io's control socket
    ii  python3-dockerpty                                0.4.1-2                               all          Pseudo-tty handler for docker Python client (Python 3.x)
    ii  wmdocker                                         1.5-2                                 amd64        System tray for KDE3/GNOME2 docklet applications

And then:

sudo apt remove docker-compose docker.io python3-docker python3-dockerpty
sudo apt purge -y docker.io

But sudo apt update still displays ... 403 Forbidden ... error. How to can I make my system to completely forget about docker to proceed with new installation?

apt

    If you followed the repository or convenience script method (the first in this site)

    Do :

    sudo apt-get purge docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list

    and then rerun sudo apt update
