I'm still a newbie in the Linux world, although I've been using it for a few years. However, I'm having trouble understanding this error!:

E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/hyyps could not be found.

I don't know how a "hyyps" can exist! Should I remove? If yes, how do I do it?

Thanks to anyone who can help.

This is what i get when I type: ls -l /usr/lib/apt/methods:

enter image description here

I can't see any "hyyps"!

I think I solved it, this is what I did: I opened the "software and updates" I unchecked everything as in the image image_1 and I did an apt update and I noticed that the error does not appear...image_2but the spelling errors have a solution?

  • Do you really get /usr/lib/apt/methods/hyyps .... ot /usr/lib/apt/methods/https ... ? And what is the output of file /usr/lib/apt/methods/http ? – Raffa Aug 08 '22 at 10:23
  • Also please add the output of ls -l /usr/lib/apt/methods/ to your question as well by [edit]ing it. – Raffa Aug 08 '22 at 10:34
  • I have added an image, and yes I really get " /usr/lib/apt/methods/hyyps" i dis make an ls -l and i get that! – HM ST Aug 08 '22 at 11:02

    Yep! there is a hyyps:/... repository line in your picture ... click on it and then click on the edit button and change it to https://... ... It will work if it is actually a live(not broken) repository ... and please copy and paste text to your question(don't add pictures) whenever possible ,,, It's easier to read and search. – Raffa Aug 08 '22 at 11:21
  • Also that zesty (Ubuntu 17.04) source should, probably, not be used at all on Ubuntu 22.04 – Raffa Aug 08 '22 at 12:17

You, probably, have a misspelled/mistyped repository line that looks something like:

deb hyyps://...

instead of:

deb https://...

either in your main apt sources file:

/etc/apt/sources.list

or in the files under the directory:

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/

Find that line, correct it and this error should be resolved.
