Update issues with apt-get on AntiX 19.3 32-bit system
I'm facing difficulties with sudo apt-get update on my 32-bit installation of Antix 19.3. After entering "yes" to the prompts, some updates succeed while others fail in unexpected ways. I'm unsure what's causing the issue and had been searching online for answers without success until late night. My understanding is limited, so I can't fully grasp the problem. I don’t know where the logs are stored, which made troubleshooting harder. The terminal output below captures the commands executed:

Update the necessary GPG key using sudo apt-key adv with the provided public key. Ensure your repository list is current by modifying /etc/apt/sources.list and rerunning apt update.
Attempting it now since I'm testing on my PC. Honestly, only 0/10—don't suggest a single-core setup in 2021.
Attempted to run sudo apt-get update once more after refreshing sources. Encountered additional errors this time following the update.

The repository file appears to be malfunctioning. On the Antix Wiki, a graphical editor for managing source files is mentioned—have you explored it? https://antixlinuxfan.miraheze.org/wiki/...po_Manager
I wasn't familiar with or attempted to use this Linux distribution until recently after posting about difficulties with my intended machine. It's likely it worked before but has stopped functioning or I haven't found the right way to access its sources. I tried opening the utility, but it felt a bit overwhelming and I was hesitant to just click without understanding what it did. Now that I'm more comfortable with repositories, I believe this tool could help me. I plan to review it later once I get home, as I'm currently busy with other tasks.
Trying the selection options now. The system will suggest a repo, then notify you about updates. Restarting or using a command might be needed for changes to apply.
