Get rid of apt update warnings

yt flag

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?)

It looks like your sources are messed up. Edit your question and post the output of `cat /etc/apt/sources.list` . In your edit you should also provide more context about your activities since the last time you successfully performed updates. In particular, share the details of alterations you made to your sources.

You created the problem when you created the line that says

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu hirsute partner universe

Edit that line to the following, which will stop the errors:

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu hirsute partner

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
