Package Repository Banned - Insecure

[DaveBolt]

Issue Type: Bug

Ubuntu, but probably any Linux, Code installed using Snap. Running apt update returns errors. E: Failed to fetch http://packages.microsoft.com/repos/code/dists/stable/InRelease Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NOSPLIT' (does the network require authentication?) E: The repository 'http://packages.microsoft.com/repos/code stable InRelease' is no longer signed. N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details. Obviously, http is not secure. The address should possibly be https, although other repositories being checked are also http and do not give an error. Don't know why updating is returning an error today. It was fine yesterday. Also don't know what this Clearsigned File is about.

VS Code version: Code 1.60.2 (7f6ab5485bbc008386c4386d08766667e155244e, 2021-09-22T12:01:43.795Z) OS version: Linux x64 4.15.0-159-generic Restricted Mode: No
