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

Jarland
