Repository download fails

My UM does not want to update repository info. The error window says "Failed To Download Repository Information"and the msg within that window is "E:The repository 'https://dl.bintray.com/resin-io/debian stable Release' does not have a Release file."

What do I have to add to get back to normal ?

sudo apt-key adv -keyserver hkp: //pgp.mit.edu: 80 -recv-keys 379CE192D401AB61

then update again

Thank you for your reply Pavlos. I copied the command line you suggested, pasted it in a terminal and got this reply "gpg: conflicting commands"

OK. I entered "sudo apt-get update" and got the following:

That should be for Etcher. The Software Boutique has an updated source.

You can manage this via the Software Boutique Click on the Wrench icon and under Advanced select Manage Repositories

Click on the Other Software tab and uncheck dl.bintray.com/resin-io/ then do a sudo apt update and the error should be resolved.

OK ! Awesome ! SOLVED
Now, Can you explain what happened to cause this ?

I can't reach the location of the repository. Etcher may have dropped it entirely.

Thank you for your help with this.
BTW should I re-select dl.bintray.com/resin-io/ ??
Or just leave it un-checked.

Also, like your avitar

Thanks.

I'd leave it unchecked.

You can continue to use Etcher or grab the updated one from the Software Boutique
