Hi, Jimmy.

As I'm sure you know SHA1 is seriously flawed and will, eventually, be
replaced. For anyone who doesn't know why this is important read this:

It's the Bio-Linux 8 PPA causing warnings as well as the Google repos:

We don't have any Bio-Linux packages for "xenial" yet, so we have to use
the old repo, which uses the SHA1 warning. Please note: This is a
warning, not an error, and is caused by the "trusty" PPA repo config.

Bye,
