E: The repository 'http://www.stats.bris.ac.uk/R/bin/linux/ubuntu precise/ 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.
Anybody please help me out in resolving this issue. Any help would be highly appreciated
Thanks in advance
This post does not fit the theme of this forum. In fact, the error message says it all, ask the repository maintainer for a solution, they can fix it.
Okay, sorry for the inconvenience. I will be careful next time. Thanks for your guidance
No problem at all. Note that this is likely just a version mismatch, your Ubuntu version is Focal (fossa) and the repository is precise (pangolin). Removing the repo from your sources and replacing it with the right version should do it.
