My /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release-bionic.list file has this line:

Ping. Anyone have any ideas?
Hello? Anyone know? Are Ubuntu Bionic 18.04 builds getting made?
sudo apt install brave-keyring brave browser gets me:

Deleted the keys. Followed the instructions. Still no dice. Here’s the last bit:
$ sudo apt install brave-keyring brave-browser
Reading package lists… Done

brave-browser is already the newest version (0.62.51).
brave-keyring is already the newest version (1.1).
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

@Mattches, oh, found /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ has both a brave-browser.list and brave-browser-release-bionic.list. Renamed brave-browser.list. But still doesn’t work:
Copy/paste from a shell:
$ sudo apt update
N: Ignoring file ‘brave-browser.list.ajb’ in directory ‘/etc/apt/sources.list.d/’ as it has an invalid filename extension
E: Malformed entry 1 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release-bionic.list (Component)
E: The list of sources could not be read.
$ sudo apt install brave-keyring brave-browser

@AndrewB,
Remove both brave-browser-release-bionic.list and brave-browser.list.ajb (seems as though you’ve renamed this to brave-browser.list unless I misunderstood – delete it either way), then rerun the install instructions and you should be good to go.
@Mattches Yay, that worked. I’m not sure how my machine got into this state. Second instance I remember of Ubuntu Brave upgrades not being clean. May need some transition logic to handle these sort of things. Super thanks though.
