apt update skip a url

  • 772

I need to skip a broken url during apt update, gives error 403.

I know that the url will probably be fixed by next week but I need to apt upgrade my other packages now.

how do I skip one url during apt update so I can successfully update my list of packages in order to run apt upgrade?

apt

    Simply disable (not delete) the source from your list.

    • Shell: Comment out the line. Start the line with a #. When you want to reactivate it, remove the #.

    • Graphically: Open Software & Updates. Locate the source. Uncheck it. When you want to reactivate it, restore the checkmark.
