This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository can be applied

When I run apt-get update on my ubuntu/debian I receive the following error:

Ubuntu:

E: Repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/php/ubuntu artful InRelease' changed its 'Label' value from '*****
The main PPA for PHP (5.6, 7.0, 7.1) with many PECL extensions *****' to '*****

N: This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository can be applied.

Debian:

It would help if you posted your repositories, but, with that said, you sort of have 2 ways to fix this.

First would be to use apt rather than apt-get. apt is preferred over apt-get for interactive use in recent Ubuntu versions; and apt should, in theory, fix this for you.

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Your second option is to use --allow-releaseinfo-change

sudo apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo-change
