This message indicates that you have added a PPA that doesn't contain a proper file for your Ubuntu version. You can fix this problem by simply remove the PPA that cause the problem (note that no new software will be added), then find the proper PPA location and add it.




To remove a PPA:



sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:whatever/ppa


in your case try:



sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:shimmerproject/ppa



and then



sudo apt update
