I have installed parrotOS PPA in my ubuntu 20.04, so I can easily install and update hacking tools.
I created a script to automatically install some common tools that I use, adding PPA with the following function.
function addTools () {
file="/etc/apt/sources.list.d/parrot.list"
echo "deb https://deb.parrotlinux.org/parrot/ rolling main contrib non-free" > ${file}
echo "#deb-src https://deb.parrotlinux.org/parrot/ rolling main contrib non-free" >> ${file}
echo "deb https://deb.parrotlinux.org/parrot/ rolling-security main contrib non-free" >> ${file}
echo "#deb-src https://deb.parrotlinux.org/parrot/ rolling-security main contrib non-free" >> ${file}
#--- Add key
echo -e "\n\n ${GREEN}[+]${RESET} Installing ${GREEN}Parrot gpg and keyring${RESET}"
wget -qO - http://archive.parrotsec.org/parrot/misc/parrotsec.gpg | apt-key add -
apt-get -y -qq update
apt-get -y -qq install apt-parrot parrot-archive-keyring --no-install-recommends
}
Then I am updating /etc/apt/preferences.d/parrot-pinning
, in order to do the following:
- If a tool both exists in ubuntu ppa and parrotOS ppa, it will install from ubuntu (So I changed
Pin-Priority
of ubuntu and debian to be higher than parrot)
Contents of /etc/apt/preferences.d/parrot-pinning
:

My problem is
While doing sudo apt dist-upgrade
, apt is trying to update tools in parrotOS PPA to a version that does not exist in the mirror.
Excerpt taken after running the command:

Closed dispute
If a question on how to use third party aplications, in this case a third party PPA on a ubuntu distro is off-topic on askubuntu, Where should I ask said question?
