I had a 21.04 system that gave no warnings when I ran apt update, but then I ran this command (suggested by the internet)
add-apt-repository universe
and after that I get warnings when running
apt update
The warnings are
W: Skipping acquire of configured file 'universe/binary-amd64/Packages' as repository 'http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu hirsute InRelease' doesn't have the component 'universe' (component misspelt in sources.list?)
