Errors when enabling Tor Package Repository in Debian-based Kicksecure

Support Relay Operator
1

I got the following errors when following the steps from the Enabling Tor Package Repository in Debian guide. How can I fix this? Also, is IP 204.8.99.144 443 temporarily or permanently down? If Tor no longer hosts it, perhaps remove it from the guide. I believe I followed the prior steps correctly but am new to this and would be happy to double check anything.

  1. Err:3 https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org <DISTRIBUTION> Release 404 Not Found [IP: 204.8.99.144 443]
  2. E: The repository 'https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org <DISTRIBUTION> Release' does not have a Release file.

Here is more output for reference:

Is this the actual output? You need to replace <DISTRIBUTION> according to the instructions that you linked.
