You need to fix your apt issues before anything can be updated or installed. It looks like you have jessie repositories but you actually are on stretch.

3

Can you point me to a post that discusses how to remedy these apt issues?

4

You may find it quicker to do a clean OS install instead of trying to fix repositories. If you choose to reinstall, don't forget to backup your Pi-Hole settings with teleporter.

5

Thanks for the advice will likely do just that, will teleporter transfer all the lists in pi-hole as well?

Have a read here what the maintainer of that dev2day.de repository has to say:

Official Plex packages for the Raspberry Pi 2-4 and other ARMv7 and ARMv8 devices have been available for several months. It’s finally time to pull the plug and disable my own private package repository. Please read the following thread if you still have not migrated to the official package repository: READ ME FIRST: About Server ARMv7 and ARMv8 Ubuntu / Debian - NAS & Devices - Plex Forum

To get apt on the rails again, find the apt config file containing the broken repository:

grep dev2day.de -R /etc/apt/sources.list*

Hash out # the broken entries, and run sudo apt-get update again.

EDIT: corrected apt-get instead of apt for older distro's

Yes. I recommend running teleporter to export, then you can look at the file it exported, expand it and see the contents.
