Re: How to refresh the list of updates?
The part about apt is that is all https/http urls so you can open it up and see wth is going on.

Re: How to refresh the list of updates?
Those 2 repositories are from get-deb and are probably not significant to the system. My biggest concern is that they are pointing at an Ubuntu 14.04 repository Is your machine running Ubuntu 14.04? If so, that version stopped being supported in 2019, unless you pay Ubuntu a subscription for extended support. In any case that's probably not your main problem. I don't like using any of the GUIs for big updates because they haven't been very good at handing odd problems and end up breaking your system when they don't know what to do, especially on the older versions of the distributions. I'd do the upgrade from the command line and just do: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -f dist-upgrade The update command will likely give you the same error about the getdeb packages. You could comment those repositories out if the error is bugging you. Upgrading from the command line will hopefully give you a nice human readable error that you will be able to handle and get the install to finish.

Re: How to refresh the list of updates?
It says you have a duplicate entry for your google chome repository in your sources.list file, which could be in just /etc/apt/sources.list or in a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d or any combination of the two. I'd check it with: cd /etc/apt; grep -r chrome sources.list* and see which files it come back as having a match and then just delete one of the lines in the file, or the whole file if it's only has one repository line in it.

Re: How to refresh the list of updates?
I would suggest starting by investigating "/var/lib/apt/lists" and either remove any obvious duplicates or disable each one individually and see which one is causing the error, then deal with fixing that one directly.
