I created a package to install postfix with my own setup files. For example, I want to have my own /etc/postfix/virtual in that package.

That works great and I verified, the file is listed as a configuration file (it is part of the conffiles list). I can update it in my package and the postinst script will run the postmap command to make sure the .db is up to date.

However, while doing some testing, I ch ...

I used to use the following gist to install Python 3.8 on Ubuntu 16.04:

# install PPA
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa

# update and install
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3.8 python3.8-dev python3.8-venv

However, ppa:deadsnakes doesn't support Ubuntu 16.04 anymore, and the above script doesn't work:

I think i broke my repositories somehow (looks like it happened after install postgress).

So, I got the solution. Thanks for that.

But then the obvious followup is: Why?

How/Why does this happen?

Are all PPAs safe? From where do I know which PPA refers to which packages? Can adding a PPA cause any harm? Or is it that the package when downloaded will cause harm? In particular is it safe to add ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test? Or is it more safer to install packages from official websites?

Alright folks, going a bit crazy here.
