Need Help with Kubernetes Repository Issue During Ubuntu Upgrade

General Discussions

Hello everyone,

I’m encountering an issue while trying to upgrade my Ubuntu system, and I could really use some assistance in resolving it. Here’s the problem I’m facing:

Issue Description: During the Ubuntu upgrade process, I’m getting an error related to the Kubernetes repository. The error message indicates that the repository doesn’t have a release file, which is preventing the upgrade from proceeding securely.

Steps Taken:

  1. I’ve attempted to update the package lists and perform the upgrade, but the error persists.
  2. I’ve checked the repository configuration and it seems to be correct, but the issue remains unresolved.

Error Message:

vbnet

E: The repository 'https://apt.kubernetes.io kubernetes-xenial Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

Request for Assistance: I’m reaching out to the community for help in resolving this issue. If anyone has encountered a similar problem or has any insights into how to fix it, I would greatly appreciate your assistance.

Additional Information:

  • Ubuntu Version: Ubuntu 23.10

Thank you in advance for your help!

This is one of the more common things that comes up on this forum - those repos were deprecated and removed earlier this year. You are likely using an old guide from a website that hasn’t been updated. I highly recommend sticking to the upstream docs or checking those first when you have a problem. They will always reflect the current state of the project.
