Correction, I am still getting the same problem. Any ideas?

#5

I should have written to move the file ... since it is copied, just sudo rm /etc/apt/trusted.gpg

sudo apt update should be clean.

I have no idea, but do not know how to get rid of them

Use the update Manager and look for the repos you have, if you see anything with xenial, remove.

Thank you for your continued help, I did that in the first instance. I have since re-done and tried apt upgrade, and get the following:-
sonyuser@SonyVaio:~$ sudo apt update

News about significant security updates, features and services will

appear here to raise awareness and perhaps tease /r/Linux :wink:

Use 'pro config set apt_news=false' to hide this and future APT news.

The following packages have been kept back:
gcc-10-base gcc-10-base:i386
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 2 not to upgrade.
sonyuser@SonyVaio:~$

P.S I have removed all xenial from updater manager

#10

I still see those lines ...

#11

Yep, me to, despite having removed xenial from update manager. I'm confused

#12

Your jammy repos should be in /etc/apt/sources.list Look in this file to make sure there are no xenial references. If they are, insert # as the first char to comment them out. There is also a dir, /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ which may contain other repos (files ending in .list) If they are not needed, remove them. Since all this happens in the /etc/apt dir, you need to use sudo.

sudo apt update should be clean and without any refs to xenial.
