    There is no Deluge packages on Quantal, as you can see on Launchpad's PPA page. To use Deluge, you need to edit the Deluge PPA entry to search packages for Precise in software-properties-gtk, changing the Distribution: field from quantal to precise:

    Distribution Changing

    After that, sudo apt-get update will show no errors about this repository.

  2. I have found the fix. Use this command on terminal.

    sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:deluge-team/ppa

    (THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED, SINCE IT WILL REMOVE THE REPOSITORY)
