ubuntu1604, sudo apt-get update 时出现的错误如上！

原因：无法下载 http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/atom/ubuntu xenial ，主要和这个软件(webupd8team)的源有关系.

 

解决方法：将对应的PPA删除掉即可.

找到上述无法下载的对应PPA目录，即webupd8team，安全起见，用mv命令将该文件添加后缀.bak即可

1.cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d

2.sudo mv webupd8team-ubuntu-atom-xenial.list webupd8team-ubuntu-atom-xenial.list.ba

3.sudo apt-get update
