I have upgraded from ubuntu 22.04 -> 24.04 and I have some issues with the skype repo. I uninstalled the skypeforlinux but the repo...I can't remove it.
On every update I get this error:
Err:5 https://repo.skype.com/deb stable InRelease
503 Service Unavailable [IP: 2a02:26f0:3500:c84::1263 443]
Fetched 1.080 kB in 7s (144 kB/s)
Reading package lists... Done
W: Failed to fetch https://repo.skype.com/deb/dists/stable/InRelease 503 Service Unavailable [IP: 2a02:26f0:3500:c84::1263 443]
W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
I tried to remove the ppa like this:
sudo add-apt-repository --remove https://repo.skype.com/deb stable main
but I get this error:
