There is no -security available via that link; opening it with a browser will quickly show that... http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/dists/ that wiki page is a little old & maybe needs an update.. *alas I'm not familiar with it enough myself to correct for later releases*

You need to set a configuration option in order to update that repository. This error message is being displayed because the release file for the repository is either unsigned or it doesn't have a release file.

To set the output to display warnings instead of errors, you need to alter your sources.list file, which you have likely accessed recently, if you are seeing this message, and add the following flag to the entry that is showing as restricted:

allow-insecure=yes

This can be done also on a global level, but I wouldn't recommend it. If you keep it "per-repository",

1.) you will be able to see at any given point, which repositorie(s) is (are) unsigned by referring to your sources.list, and...

2.) you will know right away if, in the future, another repository that has been added is unsigned.

After it is enabled, it will still give a warning message, and apps downloaded will need to be confirmed as well.

This is all done to ensure that the files you recieve are what you are expecting, as they are coming from a relatively trustworthy source (or at the very least, one with something to lose.)

For more info on the topic, see the manual page for apt-secure

Execute the below command:

sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ddebs.list << EOF
deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/ $(lsb_release -cs)          main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/ $(lsb_release -cs)-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/ $(lsb_release -cs)-updates  main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/ $(lsb_release -cs)-proposed main restricted universe multiverse
EOF

After that delete the /etc/apt/source.list.d/ddebs.list file:

Then try running:

sudo apt update
mangohost

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.
