If this doesn’t work, what you can do is get rid of that repository, check your /etc/apt/sources.list file and any *.list files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory. Find a line that looks like this:
and remove or comment it out. Then run sudo apt-get clean, and then try updating/installing NodeJS again.
