Hey friend,
Somehow your apt configuration has replaced Ubuntu with Debian. Try this:
First back up your sources.list file:
cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak
Then let’s change Debian to Ubuntu:
sed -i 's/debian/ubuntu/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
Then let’s get rid of that last one:
sed -i 's/http:\/\/security.debian.org/#http:\/\/security.debian.org/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
And finally let’s run the update:
apt-get update
