What can I do if a repository/PPA I added does not have a Release file?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
When updating I get the error
W: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/mc3man/trusty-media/ubuntu xenial Release' does not have a Release file.
Here I find another statement on this error: How can I fix a 404 Error when using a PPA or updating my package lists?
But this recommends removing certain ppas and I'm not sure if I should do that since it might mean not getting the updates I need. Is this what I should do?

xenial is probably no longer supported should upgrade. You should change all repositories to use old-release.ubuntu.com instead, and then dosudo do-releases-upgradeto get an supported release of Ubuntu. help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades Oh, it was an old PPA. I just had this problem myself, and it was solved by this trick. I came here first when I did a search.

@Anders as of this date Xenial is still supported with maintenance updates. When in doubt you can check the release schedule

The PPA you've added does not support your version of Ubuntu. For example, the ppa:mc3man/trusty-media PPA is only for Trusty (Ubuntu 14.04) only (trusty-media). Obviously, it has no files for Xenial (16.04). You can check the PPA's Launchpad page to see which versions of Ubuntu are supported.
I'd suggest the following:
Remove the PPA for older releases. For this example:
sudo ppa-purge ppa:mc3man/trusty-media
- You can also try tricking apt to use the older release (How can I add a PPA from a previous release?), but that may not always work and can break things in unpredictable ways.
If there's a PPA for your version, add it. In this case, there's a PPA for Xenial: mc3man/xerus-media. You can add it using
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/xerus-media

From my personal experience I can recommend to directly contact the PPA owner (if we talk about PPA) to kindly ask him/her to prepare packages for needed (usually newer, so supported release) with steps below:
- Temporarily disable the PPA in your system (see other answer).
- Visit PPA page on https://launchpad.net and login to it.
- Determine the uploader's name in Uploaded by column, click on the name's hyperlink
Then click on Contact this user
And fill the form with all necessary information:
From: your e-mail will be shown in plain here
Subject: Packaging of AppName for Ubuntu NN.MM release
Message:
Dear PPA owner!
Thank you for your work on the AppName.
It would be great if you create the package for it for Ubuntu NN.MM release.

- Add PPA again to the system when package get published.
- Enjoy!

Before you try anything else make sure you have network access from your server to the internet. Otherwise you will get this error too.

From my personal experience I can recommend to directly contact the PPA owner (if we talk about PPA) to kindly ask him/her to prepare packages for needed (usually newer, so supported release) with steps below:
- Temporarily disable the PPA in your system (see other answer).
- Visit PPA page on https://launchpad.net and login to it.
- Determine the uploader's name in Uploaded by column, click on the name's hyperlink
Then click on Contact this user
And fill the form with all necessary information:

Subject: Packaging of AppName for Ubuntu NN.MM release
Message:
Dear PPA owner!
Thank you for your work on the AppName.
It would be great if you create the package for it for Ubuntu NN.MM release.
With best regards,
user.

Before you try anything else make sure you have network access from your server to the internet. Otherwise you will get this error too.

xenial is probably no longer supported should upgrade. You should change all repositories to use old-release.ubuntu.com instead, and then do
sudo do-releases-upgradeto get an supported release of Ubuntu. help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades Oh, it was an old PPA. I just had this problem myself, and it was solved by this trick. I came here first when I did a search.– Anders

@Anders as of this date Xenial is still supported with maintenance updates. When in doubt you can check the release schedule
