There’s some digital ocean posts about this but none of the solutions work anymore
I found the solution Removing digital ocean agents from here /etc/apt/sources.list.d by going to the directory with
cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d
then ls
to list the files
then remove them both by using
rm -rf (name of file)
for all the agents and then running
sudo apt purge droplet-agent*
and
wget -qO- https://repos-droplet.digitalocean.com/install.sh | sudo bash

And then run
apt-get install droplet-agentto see if the problem is resolved.If not, then run the following again:
Let me know how it goes!
