Can anyone comment on the following error while sudo apt-get update

W: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/fenics-packages/fenics-1.5.x/ubuntu xenial Release' does not have a Release file.

N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use.

N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

E: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/fenics-packages/fenics-1.5.x/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Thanks

Use PPA found here instead: https://launchpad.net/~fenics-packages/+archive/ubuntu/fenics

For whatever reason the project has not made a release after 2015. The PPA does not contain packages for any Ubuntu versions after that. You need to find alternative ways of getting the binaries/source of this project.
