Having trouble updating 18.04

So, I haven't booted up Ubuntu MATE for the first time in a while. I tried to run sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade.

I got the folowing error:

I originally installed Brave via the Software Boutique months ago. I used Software Boutique to remove it, but it still shows up when I try to update.

I did run into an issue with Software Updater not being able to reach the internet (Firefox has no issue accessing the web.). I told Ubuntu to find the best server and was able to install updates yesterday.

Any idea what I should do?

You could try: Control Center > Software and updates, Other software and see if that line from amazonaws is there, remove it, refresh cache, sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

As Pavlos said, Control Center > Administration > Software & Updates > Other Software (I assume) and highlight the entry and simply click on "Remove", a picture below to aid you better!.

Well, that solved that problem. Originally, I thought all I have to do was uncheck that link, but that didn't work. Removing it did. Thanks.
