PPA Failed to fetch: the package it is looking for is out of date

cn flag

A PPA is giving apt upgrade errors because the update is trying to install a package which has been removed and replaced with a newer one.

apt dist-upgrade --fix-missing 

is suggested as a fix, but it results in the same error.

I have been getting this error on a couple of machines for about 48 hours or so.

Failed to fetch https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/damentz/liquorix/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-liquorix/linux-headers-liquorix-amd64_6.2-4ubuntu1%7ejammy_amd64.deb  404  Not Found [IP: 185.125.190.52 443]


The package version "linux-headers-liquorix-amd64_6.2-4..." is no longer present in the PPA. It was replaced March 13 with

Why is it trying to install an older package?

There appears to be a version mismatch in the packaging.

I don't know much about .debs but I guess it is not good that the version string does not match the package.

This is from my 22.10 laptop:

Run `apt update` first.

yes of course I do that.

I found a workaround, is that the same a solution? The workaround doesn't explain what the problem is or why it happened.

This is a workaround rather than an answer, since it does not explain the cause of the problem.

I removed and re-added the PPA. This fixed the problem on both machines.

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
