Since Whonix version 7.3.3 if you have build Whonix from source code, by default, Whonix's APT Repository does not get added. (Unless you opted in using a build configuration.) You can still verify, that it already is disabled, though.

If Whonix is already installed, you can disable Whonix's APT repository using the graphical Whonix Repository tool.

(Whonix 7.3.3 and above)

Start Menu -> Applications -> System -> Whonix Repository -> "Deactivate Whonix Repository"

Or in terminal. (Whonix 6 and above.)

whonix_repository --disable

Feel free to verify this.

If you want to check, if disabling Whonix's apt repository was successful, you can run the following tests.

Use apt-key.

sudo apt-key finger

It should not show any Whonix specific keys, it should not show adrelanos's OpenPGP key.

Have a look if /etc/apt/sources.list.d/whonix.list exists. If it doesn't exist, everything is fine.

If you are extra paranoid, see footnote. ^[1]
