I had bought two droplets from Digital Ocean a couple of weeks back. I have built an SMTP on first droplet using SSH Putty and all the process gone well :)
Now, I am trying to build another SMTP on the second droplet by following the same procedure but this time I am getting an error:
“The repository ‘http://ppa.launchpad.net/brightbox/ruby-ng/ubuntu focal Release’ does not have a Release file.”
Here is the log image: https://imgur.com/3AfYqh6
I have also tried to build an SMTP using Postal, but I am getting the same error here as well.
How can I figure our this issue? Any help from the community would be appreciated!

Hi there @DanAskew,
The error that you are seeing is for the Brightbox Ruby NG repository which you have added to your server and saying that this repository is not available for your current Ubuntu version.
You would need to remove the http://ppa.launchpad.net/brightbox/ruby-ng/ubuntu focal Release repository from your repository source list and then run sudo apt update.
To do so first run:
apt policy
Thich will list all of the PPA repositories that you have.
- Then find the exact PPA repository that you want to remove and run the
apt-add-repositorybut add the--removeflag:
sudo apt-add-repository --remove ppa:brightbox/ruby-ng
Finally, you will need to run:
sudo apt update
After that apt will start working as normal.
Let me know how it goes. Regards, Bobby
