Resource list errors cannot be fixed , makes me unable to install anything

Question

I tried methods like deleting or updating the source list that I found on the web but these didn't fix it.

Answer 1

in your case it seems that you just have to remove the atom source list

sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/atom.list
sudo apt-get update

if you want the atom txt editor to be installed/updated, follow the link: https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/atom?field.series_filter=trusty
