I have this error associated with gh (github commandline).

$ sudo apt update
...

W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

It's installation commands are:

type -p curl >/dev/null || sudo apt install curl -y
curl -fsSL https://cli.github.com/packages/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg | sudo dd of=/usr/share/keyrings/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg \
&& sudo chmod go+r /usr/share/keyrings/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg \
&& echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg] https://cli.github.com/packages stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/github-cli.list > /dev/null \
&& sudo apt update \
&& sudo apt install gh -y

I think this means an issue relating to /usr/share/keyrings/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg. I have uninstalled gh.

How do I remove this issue during sudo apt update?

If you don't want the GitHub repo, you can delete the file in which that repo is configured (`/etc/apt/sources.list.d/github-cli.list`, from the commands you have listed)

@muru Thank. I removed files `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/github-cli.list`, `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/github-cli.list.distUpgrade`, `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/github-cli.list.save`. Issues solved.

Following @muru comment, I removed files /etc/apt/sources.list.d/github-cli.list, /etc/apt/sources.list.d/github-cli.list.distUpgrade, /etc/apt/sources.list.d/github-cli.list.save. Issues solved.

Sidenote: After upgrading from Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04, I also found many focal (i.e. Ubuntu 20.04) files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d. I removed these old files too.

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.
