Getting the following error attempting to run an apt-get update in prep for a package install:

Doing a bit of googling this seems to be most commonly related to proxy settings. I have installed a proxy via Firefox since I can last recall running apt-get update successfully, but it's not currently active, and even when it is, I'm not seeing any proxy specified:

chris@chris-X1C6:/etc/apt$ env | grep -i proxy
chris@chris-X1C6:/etc/apt$

I've also tried running apt-get update setting the proxy option to false as described in this post (as I don't appear to have an apt.conf file):

sudo apt-get update -o Acquire::http::Proxy="false"

with the same results.

Any ideas what might be causing this and how to fix.

Choose download from main server.

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

I don't think it is a proxy problem.

Connect to your ppa is possible.
