cannot use the accessibility ppa on ubuntu 16.10

[Rob Whyte]

Hi,

the problem is that the archive does not yet contain a Yakkety release.

The latest is Xenial, you could edit your source in
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ for the accessibility archive and change
yakkety to xenial and apt-get update again.


Good luck

Rob
