Thanks.  It's obvious when you look at it properly.

Re: [Dorset] Kubuntu 16.10 -> 17.04 Update/Upgrade Issue

[Andrew Montgomery-Hurrell]

Looks like you added a ppa once for kokoto-java and that ppa no longer
exists, or at least doesn't have any packages/release information for
Ubuntu Yakkety. You can figure out what you installed from that PPA via the
Ubuntu Software Centre:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/5976/how-can-i-list-all-packages-ive-installed-from-a-particular-repository

If you haven't installed anything, or don't care about the software you did
install (in which case you can uninstall it to be safer), you can remove
that ppa ( https://askubuntu.com/questions/307/how-can-ppas-be-removed )
and upgrade just fine. In fact, usually the GUI updater disables PPAs
anyway, so you'll just be doing that step yourself manually.

H.  What happened to the messages.  Second try.

Reading package lists... Done

yakkety Release' does not have a Release file.  
N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore

[Dorset] Kubuntu 16.10 -> 17.04 Update/Upgrade Issue

[Terry Coles]

Hi,

My copy of Kubuntu 16.10 (and earlier versions) has always had an issue with 
the 
graphical update tool (it never notices that there are any).  This is a known 
bug which the 
Kubuntu team seem unable to fix (they did once then changed the updater and 
broke it 
again).

As a result of this, I have been in the habit of running the 'sudo apt-get 
update' / 'sudo apt-
get distro-upgrade' combo on a routine basis.  Since 17.04 was released I get 
the following 
at the end of the apt-get update stage of the process:

Reading package lists... Done   


I've searched the Kubuntu Forums and found nothing.  Has anyone else seen this? 
 What 
does it mean?

I'm loathe to go for a full upgrade while I'm getting this message.
