How to resolve conflicting distributions in apt-get

Question

When doing an apt-get update/upgrade I see that error

W: Conflicting distribution: https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb public InRelease (expected public but got )

I was upgrading to Ubuntu Zesty 17.04 before and do not know how to fix the above. Already have seen https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/162337/plex-media-server-ppa-for-ubuntu/p4? but there are no suggested fixes for that.

Maybe one of you can give some hints? Thanks!

Solution 1

Edit

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list

And replace

deb https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb/ public main

with

deb https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb/ ./public main

...that worked for me.

This is because they are redoing the packaging:

public main is correct.
You’re not doing anything wrong.
What you see is because of how the repository is…
As I’ve stated already today, I am working as hard and as fast as I humanly can.
The repository will be completely overhauled by the time we complete the new build system (CI) for all of PMS.

Run the following code and it will update/upgrade Plex.

echo deb https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb public main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list

curl https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-keys/PlexSign.key | sudo apt-key add -

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it should probably go to askubuntu.com because it's not about programming.

I don't have this file : plexmediaserver.list !!
