Even I have faced the same issue in ubuntu 17.10 When running

sudo apt-get update

http://ppa.launchpad.net/rael-gc/rvm/ubuntu artful Release
404 Not Found E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/rael-gc/rvm/ubuntu artful Release' does not have a Release file. 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.

Work around : Change the distribution to zesty.

@raelgc can you maybe have a look?

@gdledsan (slightly off topic) my Google Foo didn't turn up any hints on how to change from Artful (17.10) to Zesty (17.04) - do you have any notes on doing this to solve this in the short-term?

[Bass-03]

@guyellis there are two ways: 1) Open Software & updates, go to other sources, find the repo and select it, hit edit and change the distribution from artful to zesty

2) open up the terminal and send sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rael-gc-ubuntu-rvm-artful.list you will see a line like> deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/rael-gc/rvm/ubuntu artful main change it to deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/rael-gc/rvm/ubuntu zesty main Save the file CTRL

Package published in Artful. Sorry guys for the inconvenience.

I ran into the same issue and tried @gdledsan's fix but it doesn't work, am I missing something?

[Bass-03]

hey @amritk the release file is now added to the artful repo, so this issue should not happen. What error are you seeing?

[amritk]

@gdledsan It was a different ppa causing the issue. I used the fix from https://stackoverflow.com/a/23650993/1624255 and it now works.
